I like both equally, either with coconut chutney or peanut chutney.

dosa and dosai are words in two different languages. They sound similar and are used to describe the same thing. A similar example would be "bottle" in English vs "बोतल" in Hindi.Seva Lamberdar wrote:what is the correct spelling -- dosa or dosai?

AFAIK it is pronounced, in between, like 'dho say/dho se' , the 'a' or 'e' is short and not stretched.
