SPINACH MASALA DOSA/ PALAK MASALA DOSA

I was bored of the same dosa; idly Tiffin’s daily that I really wanted a change. This is the outcome of that search. Spinach Dosa.

This almost tasted the same dosa taste except that the color was green. I had made potato curry that morning, So we had spinach masala dosa for dinner :)

Ingredients:

(Makes 4 to 5 dosas)

For the dosa :

¾ cup wheat flour

1/2 cup rice flour

Spinach - 1.5 cups tightly packed.

Salt to taste

Green chillies – 2

Ginger – finely chopped

Cumin seeds – 1 tsp

Hing – a pinch

For the filling :

Potatoes – 3 Medium sized.

Onion – 1

Red chilli powder – 1tsp

Turmeric powder – a pinch

Oil – 2tsp

Mustard seeds – 1tsp

Peanuts – 1 tsp

  

Method :

For the filling : 

• Cook the potatoes in a  pressure cooker. Keep them ready
• Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they pop, add peanuts. Roast them for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, slice the Onions length wise and add it to the pan.
• As soon as onion loses its raw smell, mash the potatoes and add them.
• Add turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Fry it for a while.
• Garnish with cilantro. Potato filling is ready for the masala dosa.                                                                              

For the Spinach Dosas: 

• Grind Spinach, green chillies and ginger to a fine paste. 
• Mix the wheat flour, rice flour, spinach paste, salt, cumin seeds and hing to a thick consistency just like dosa batter. 
• Heat the tawa and pour a ladle full of batter on the tawa. 
• Spread the batter in a circular fashion.
• Once it is cooked, add the potato filling to make tasty and healthy Masala Dosas!!!

 My Notes :

If u have ready made dosa batter also, you could just do the first step in dosa preparation and mix it to the batter. Spinach dosa batter is ready in a jiffy.
