I have downloaded and installed the release version of ASP.NET MVC 3 (File version: 1.13.113.0), Created a new project of type ASP.NET MVC 3 web application.

When I right click on Controllers folder=>Add Controller, The Add Controller dialog doesn't have any scaffolding option. It just contains a textbox for Controller name and a checkbox to add action methods for CRUD scenarios.

should I do anything to view the Scaffolding options (Template, Model Class, Data Context Class and View) in Add controller dialog box?

In the Web Platform Installer 3.0 you can find something called "ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update" Install that one and you get the Scaffolding options and some other stuff.
