Method
- Prepare dosa batter by mixing two cups of rice flour with one cup of black gram dal flour, with salt to taste.
- The consistency of the batter should be like that of making a thick pancake.
- Keep it aside for 1 hour to set.
- Take a bundle of spinach, clean and take the tender leaves and stem alone.
- Finely chop onions and green chillies.
- Also clean and chop half a cup of mint leaves and half cup of cilantro.
- Heat some oil in a separate pan and season with cumin seeds.
- Add onions and green chillies and fry till onions turn light brown.
- Add the spinach leaves, mint and cilantro leaves.
- Add salt to taste and close with a lid till the leaves are soft and just cooked.
- Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
- After it cools put the fried leaves and onion in a mixie.
- Grind slightly so that it does not become a paste (make sure the leaves and onion mix but don't loose their total shape).
- Now the herbal part is ready.
- Heat a pan and smear some oil.
- Make a thin dosa (pan cake) with the dosa batter prepared earlier and close it for 15 seconds with a lid.
- Remove the lid and spread a spoonful of the ground herbal mix generously over the pancake.
- Close the lid again for another 15 to 20 seconds.
- The heat should be set at medium level and when the pan cake is cooked role the pan cake like a mat and remove.
- Serve with curd or raitha or coconut sauce.
