PALAK & OATS JINI DOSA

This is a fusion version of the dosa that uses oats. The idea of making a dosa using oats, spinach and paneer came to me when I followed a diet prescribed by a nutritionist. This is a nutritionally-balanced dish.

Oats-one cup

Spinach 250 grams

1 teaspoon green chilly & ginger paste

2 tablespoon Curd

1 cup paneer

1/2 teaspoon Chat masala

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon Oil

Method

1. Grind oats in a mixer jar and then sift to a bowl.

2. Finely chop spinach.

3. Mix the oats and spinach with all the other ingredients, blended to make a batter that should not be too runny,

4. Heat a pan lightly brushed with oil, and spread a tablespoon of the batter gently in the pan.

5. After cooking for 7 minutes apply oil with brush and turn the batter over so that the other side is also cooked for about 7 minutes. The dosa is ready,

6. Grate paneer and add some chat masala in it.

7. Spread the paneer on the surface of the dosa and fold it in to make a wrap.

8. Cut each dosa to make smaller ones (called jinni dosa, a popular street snack in western India).

Serve – garnished with paneer and masala, and with chutney on the side,

When I have guests I serve it in a white plate with some raw spinach in bottom to lend contrast colour.
