Butter Dosa is a staple dish of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka. It is often made from a batter made of rice and urad dhal that has been fermented overnight. But this particular kind of dosa, known as a butter dosa, was first developed in Chennai, India. Puffed rice was added to the batter to give the dosas an additional soft texture.
This butter dosa, which has a thick foundation but is thin and crispy and has a delicate feel, is only one of the numerous variants common in Sri Lankan Sigiriya cuisine. The popularity of this dosa is largely attributable to the fact that it is served with a spicy potato dish and a big amount of fresh butter or benne.
