Palak Dosa ( Spinach Dosa )

PrintPDF

We can not find the Palak dosa in many restaurants but many home makers prefer making palak dosa as it is a  rich-in-iron breakfast. Just a little more work with the easy-to-make plain dosa would give us this incredibly healthy alternative. Check out how ....

Ingredients:

• Palak / Spinach - 5 bunches
• Moong dal - 1 cup
• Rice - 1 cup
• Green chilies - 8
• Onions - finely chopped 1 cup
• Tomatoes - 3
• Coriander - 1 bunch
• Curry leaves 
• Butter - 1 cup
• Salt - to taste

Method :

• Wash and soak the moong dal and rice together for four hours.
• Finely chop the coriander and spinach. Keep aside.
• Add green chilies , salt , curry leaves , chopped tomatoes to the soaked rice and moong daal . ( Do not forget to drain the water.)
• Grind this to a smooth paste. This makes the batter for our dosa.
• Add half of the chopped onions and the chopped coriander (the remaining for garnishing ) and spinach to the batter.
• Heat a pan . 
• Pour one big table spoon of the batter on the pan.
• Quickly spread the batter (clockwise) outwards to the edge of the pan.
• Add little oil to the edge of the dosa and few drops on the top to enable it to fry.
• Keep this on high flame for about two minutes till the corners of the dosa  leave surface of the pan.
• Now remove the dosa from the pan and place it on a serving plate.
• Garnish the dosa with a teaspoon of butter and the remaining onions and coriander.    

This dosa can be served with any pickle or chutney.
