Tasting Mysuru’s Popular ‘Tuppa Dosae’ At 80-Year-Old MAHESH TIFFANIES Tuppada Dose Hotel

#tuppadadosahotel #maheshtiffanies #mysore
popular dosa eatery in mysore, mahesh tiffanies, tuppada dose hotel, ramachandra agrahara, agrahara, mysuru, village tradition, tuppa dosa, tuppa dosae, vanaspati dosae, ghee dosa, masala dosa, chutney, masala vada, ambode
Ask any denizen of Mysuru for the ‘tuppada dosae’ hotel and chances are you will be directed to this quaint shop that has stood the test of time for over eight decades in the bylanes of Ramachandra Agrahara. Begun by Mr Hollappa in the 1940s, this breakfast-only eatery is now run by his son, 86-year old Mahadevappa, and grandson, Mahesh. The must-try (actually one of only three items on the menu) here is the scrumptious Tuppa Dosae, roasted with liberal lashings of ‘vanaspati’ ghee, to accommodate “taste and budget” as pointed out by Mahesh. I dropped in for a quick chat and breakfast during a recent drive through the city.
Hope you enjoy this watch. I take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a blessed Deepavali. Stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
Tuppa Dosae
Rs. 35 (usd 0.5) for two dosae;
8.5/10 (9/10 for the palya)
Ambode
Rs. 5 (usd 0.1)
8/10
Happy Eating!

I can see lot of comments about Vanaspati usage here. I guess Vanaspati is not a new item to us. Iam not sure how many of you are aware, all the bakery and biryani makers uses it more (biscuits, cakes, cream in the biscuits also etc contains Vanaspati). Only name is we call it as Vanaspati but they call it as Hydrogenated fat. Even the usage is approved by FSSAI (Food safety standards Authorities of India). As long as we consume it once in a while , it is ok. Even the owners are openly saying that they use the Vanaspati. Its our wish to eat or not.

[@FoodLoversTV]

You make a very relevant point, Hari.

[@haripradeeppalanki9358]

@@FoodLoversTV thank you sir. Its the known fact that every bakery industry uses the Vanaspati. We can easily find Hydrogenated oil over their labels. As we are not aware of this fact, we dont make noise. When some one use word, dalda or Vanaspati then we react

@@FoodLoversTV Kripal after appu sir incident we all should be very conscious about the usage of fat in food and promoting those eateries. Kripal I don’t know why you are promoting this? This eatery uses maida and vanaspati for dosa. Maida is a white poison and vanaspati is very dangerous. Just for the above point, poison is also a allowed item according to food corporation of India, but it matters how much quantity. Alcohol is not prohibited in India and it is legal that doesn’t mean that it is good for health. When Kripal asked about what item he use, the owner hesitated to mention vanaspati and maida. In one way it is good that eatery is using these ingredients and moving forward I don’t go there. Kripal there are lot of good eatery’s in Tumkur for idli and dosa and visit it and promote those. Tumkur is known for idli and dosas. They don’t use any maida or vanaspati for sure. But it is really unfortunate that you promoted this in main channel which doesn’t worth for. In Bangalore and Mysore many eatery’s are like this are very popular but the fact it they are not up to the mark where they should be in quality. I usually don’t write comments but after watching this I felt to share my thoughts with you all.

[@TojiFushigoroWasTaken]

Vanaspathi is probably used in all hotels instead of ghee atleast the owners were honest enough to admit it

I'm from mysore and eating this ghee dosa from my childhood. Still our friends keep going to this hotel and have atleast 4 dosas . It is so budget friendly 35 rupees for 2 dosas with tasty chutney and sagu. It is made of vanaspathi ghee so better to eat once in a while to avoid fat. But trust me if you visit mysuru you should not miss it bcz of the brilliant taste it gives. This hotel opens at morning 8am and closes at 12 afternoon.

Dear Kripal - This Vlog is yet another unique and enjoyable to watch . Your hallmark has always been your Culinary knowledge, interaction with the owners or other customers with humility. You are spot on in the sense that the Dosa was quite decadent yet delectable and hence requires indulgence once in a while . However it’s not a problem for you as you will make up for it with your intermittent fasting 👍👍 It’s always fabulous to watch your Vlog and that too just before lunch time ! Thanks and huge respect and love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟 ! Kudos to the owners and chefs for continuing with the legacy set by their forefathers 🙏🙏🙏 ! Good luck to Mahesh Tiffanies 👍👍

That means what they say in the board loudly which is not followed inside. Through you we came to know what kind of TUPPA they use. Thanks to you for finding the secret of tuppa.
