Davangere benne dose or dosey, (Kannada: Dāvaṇagere beṇṇe dōse) or butter dosa, is a type of dosa which traces its origin to the city of Davanagere in Karnataka, India. The term "benne dose" in Kannada means simply "butter dosa." It is prepared by the addition of a generous amount of butter while preparing the normal dosa, and accompanied by coconut chutney. Its batter is very different comprising a mixture of rice, dal, puffed rice, etc., and is prepared on a wood-fired pan. It is similar to masala dosa or set dosa but smaller in size, made out of rice batter and much more butter. It is served with liberal helpings of butter sprinkled on it.
Davanagere Benne Dose has an interesting history dating back to 1928.A lady named Chennamma migrated to Davanagere with her children and started preparing Dosa, Chutney and Potato Palya with her own unique recipe.[5] She started her tiny eatery in front of Savalagi Drama Theater near Vasantha Talkies at Davanagere which became popular for its taste.

Initially, she used to prepare Dosa with Ragi batter. Later by 1938, her children started preparing Dosa with Rice batter, puffed rice and dal with generous dollops of butter. This became extremely popular with locals very soon. This was carried on by Chennamma's two sons Shanthappa and Mahadevappa. They both opened their own eateries.

Shanthappa opened his eatery in 1944 called "Shantappa Dosa Hotel", which is the oldest Benne Dose eatery in Davanagere, located near the Clock Tower in Old Davanagere.[6]

Mahadevappa opened his eatery near Vasantha theatre which does not exist today. His elder son Ravi has a Benne Dose eatery on Church Road as Ravi benne dose hotel.[7] His younger son Viji also has his own Vijji Benne Dosa eatery at dental college road.

Most popular restaurants serving this dish are :

1. Gayathri Benne Dose Hotel near Ram and Co Circle

2. Vasantha Benne Dose Hotel on BIET College Road

3. Sri Guru Kottureshwara Benne Dose Hotel on Dental College Road.

In 2024, Prabha Mallikarjun, the MP for Davanagere in the Lok Sabha, placed an inquiry to commerce minister Jitin Prasada about the possibility of obtaining a geographic Indication (GI) registration for Davanagere benne dose. Prasada replied that the availability of the dish across regions and lack of specific qualities that could only be found in Davangere meant that it would not qualify, and noted that an application had not been filed. In response, Mallikarjun directed the Davangere deputy commissioner to file an application and pointed to Lonavala chikki and rasgulla as foods with a GI registration despite being popular across India.
