Jini Dosa

Today for the fifth day of the marathon, i have chosen Jini Dosa :)..This is a speciality dosa which is an integral part of Mumbai street food!! I love street food.. be it the chats or noodles or kufi's..i am always game for it. Fortunately, i have a gang of friends who love it equally.. sometimes, i wonder whether its our love for food which really binds us together :)

On a trip to Mumbai, i remember binging on varieties of dosa's which were not common in Blore.. like Pav Bhaji dosa, Spring onion Dosa, Noodles dosa etc.. I was contemplating between Pav Bhaji dosa or Jini Dosa..My choice became clear when i saw the amazing Pav Bhaji dosa in Vaishali's blog, so thought let me add another tasty dosa to the group :)! I choose this Tarla Dalal recipe and tweaked it a little and lets say very happy with the results.. For all dosa lovers, you guys should make this.. :)

Preparation Time!!

1. In a blender, take half a tomato, green chilli, garlic pod  and blend to fine mixture.Keep aside

2. In a pan, add 1 tbsp butter. As it melts, add finely chopped onion & sauté till it turns light brown

3. To this add, cabbage, finely chopped capsicum and mix well. To this add the remaining chopped tomato. Mix well and cook covered for 5 minutes

4. The mixture would have become pulpy. To this add red chilli powder & garam masala 

5. Mix the powders. Add the ground mixture (Step 1), coconut & paneer and sauté this for 5 minutes

6. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and mix well. Add salt. Check for the spices and cook for another 5-6 minutes & remove of flame

7. Pour 2 ladles of dosa batter on hot pan & make a thin dosa. Drizzle oil around the dosa & let it cook. Once done, spread 2 scoops ( around 3tbsp) of the masala over the dosa & drizzle 2-3 drops of ghee ( this makes it very aromatic :)) and fold to serve!

Serve with Sambhar or chutney.. We had it just like that with out any accompaniments & it tasted fantastic :)

The masala came in handy for almost 7 dosa!

   The dosa is divided into pieces & served..
