Jini dosa is a popular street food from Mumbai in which dosa is cooked with spicy, sour and succulent mix of veggies . The dosa is then cut into strips and rolled and then topped with cheese. It results in a crispy, delicious and cheesy fusion dosa bursting with flavors.
Traditionally ,first the dosa batter is spread on tawa and vendors mix and cook the veggie mix on top of dosa itself. However at home when impatient kids are waiting and you have the whole family to serve there has to be a quicker way. So I have cooked the filling seperately, that ways you just need to spread the filling once your dosa in on tawa. Another difference is , I did not use any special batter for the recipe , just the regular idli dosa batter works fine.
Once the dosa is crispy, just take it out carefully on a chopping board or a plate and cut into strips with the help of a pizza cutter.
Like all other recipes , this recipe is customizable to suit your taste and dietary requirements. You can use less or more sauce for the recipe or add/skip any vegetables as per your taste.
Things you will need:
Dosa batter: Normal dosa batter works fine. I used the shop bought one. We get this ready made 1 kg packs of Idli/dosa batter in our local Indian grocery shop. You can use home made or shop bought. Any dosa batter which is spreadable works well for the recipe.
Oil and butter: Skip the butter for vegan version and use oil only.
Vegetable mix: You will need onions, garlic , tomatoes, green and red ( or any other color ) peppers, spring onions
Sauces: I used Schezwan chutney and tomato ketchup
Spices: Salt and black pepper
Further ingredients: Grated Cheese , spring onion greens and fresh coriander. You can use grated paneer too.
