Ingredients

Measuring cup (1 cup = 250 ml)

  • 1 cup Idli/Dosa Batter
  • ½ cup Spinach Puree (made from 2.5 cups of raw spinach) (i dint blanch palak in this recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons carrot shredded, (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons oil or ghee for roasting dosa

Instructions

  • Take 2.5 cups of spinach (palak) and blend in a mixer grinder with 2 tablespoon of water to make a fine paste and keep aside.

  • Make sure the spinach paste is well incorporated.Make sure batter should be thick flowing consistency and not running.
  • Now heat the tawa or the griddle and drop about 1 tablespoon of dosa batter each on the tawa to make coin sized dosa's. Also add shredded carrot at this stage as seen in the pic.I usually prepare 5 to 6 at a time.

  • That’s it. Now remove the dosas and similarly prepare the coin dosa with the remaining batter.

Notes

  • In this recipe, I dint blanch the spinach/palak but you can do it as well.
  • Make sure your dosa batter should be a little thick, after adding spinach puree it may become more watery inconsistency.
  • Make sure the dosa batter is not cold.
  • I use ghee instead of oil for kids' lunch box.
  • You can also add 1 green chili and 1 tablespoon of coriander leaves while grinding spinach to give more flavor.
  • Instead of coin dosa, you can prepare regular dosa with this batter or uttapam with this batter as well. Note this batter can be used to make idly's as well.
