Palak Cheese Dosa recipe - How to make Palak Cheese Dosa

1 cup roughly chopped and blanched spinach (palak)
1 1/2 cups grated processed cheese
1/4 cup roughly chopped onions
1/4 cup roughly chopped tomatoes
1/2 tsp roughly chopped ginger (adrak)
1 tsp roughly chopped garlic (lehsun)
2 tsp oil
2 pinches of turmeric powder (haldi)
1/2 tsp chilli powder
salt to taste
1 1/2 cups readymade dosa batter
2 tbsp melted butter for cooking

For Serving
sambhar
coconut chutney

Method

Combine the spinach, onion, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in a mixer and blend till smooth without using any water.
Heat the oil a broad non-stick pan, add the prepared spinach mixture, turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), sprinkle little water and wipe it off gently using a muslin cloth.
Pour a ladleful of the batter on it and spread it in a circular motion to make a 175 mm. (7”) diameter thin circle.
Smear 1 tsp butter over it and along the edges and cook on medium flame till the dosa turns light brown in colour.
Spread 2 tbsp of the prepared spinach mixture and sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese evenly over it. Cook it on a medium flame for 1 minute or till the cheese melts.
Fold the dosa lightly from 3 sides to form a triangle.
Repeat steps 3 to 7 to make 5 more dosas.
Serve immediately with sambhar and coconut chutney.
