JINI DOSA

If you are in Mumbai and have not gone to Anand dosawala in Parle, then your visit is incomplete.

Anand Dosawala outside Mithibai college is a famous spot. They are famous for their variety of dosas, grilled sandwiches, and Vada Pav. One of the most popular dosas on their menu is the JINI DOSA.  I tried this recipe and I kid you not, this tastes like Anand’s Jini Dosa. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe and if you do, please don’t forget to tag me at @spizerita

Dosa:

  1. Heat a Tawa or a nonstick pan. Grease the pan with oil and gently wipe it with a paper towel.
  2. Keep the tawa on low flame. Take a ladle full of the dosa and spread it on the tawa in a circular motion.
  3. Once the dosa looks a little cooked, spread some butter. And let it cook for 30 secs.
  4. Now spread some ketchup, tomato chutney, and schezwan sauce on the dosa. (use only a little since you will be adding more in the next step).
  5. Now add ½ tbsp each of chopped cabbage, bell papers, onions. Add ½ tsp of each: tomato chutney, ketchup, and schezwan sauce add a pinch of pav bhaji masala, cilantro and mix everything well with the help of a spatula.
  6. Let it cook for 30-45 secs on medium-low flame. Shred some cheese over.
  7. Let the dosa become a little crispy. 
  8. Now you can serve it in 2 ways.
  9. You can cut dosa directly on the tawa in 3-4 pieces and then roll them up and serve it on the plate OR you can roll the dosa off the tawa and then cut into pieces and serve.
  10. Place the dosa on a plate and sprinkle some more cheese.
  11. Serve it with some tomato chutney and coconut chutney on the side.
