Jini Dosa (Mumbai Street Food in a Fusion South Indian Style)

          Jini Dosa is a very popular and a yummy street food from Mumbai. But I gave a slight twist and made in a fusion South Indian style, complete with fresh grated coconut and idli podi. It can be relished just as it is or with coconut chutney for breakfast, as an evening snack or anytime you wish. So check the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this wholesome and delicious fusion treat. 

           It is generally stuffed with some chopped cabbage, capsicum, onion, carrots, sauce and cheese.  But I skipped all these and stuffed with onion, tomato, green chilies, coriander leaves, tomato sauce, fresh grated coconut and some idli podi apart from cheese. 

          The uniqueness lies in the fact that it is cut into strips and rolled up. It is then served standing upright and garnished with some more cheese. You can enjoy with coconut chutney for a wholesome meal. 

• 3-4 cups leftover dosa batter 
• 1/2 cup grated cheese or as required
• 1 onion, chopped or as required
• 1 tomato, chopped or as required
• 1-2 green chilies, chopped
• 3-4 tbsp. tomato sauce or as required
• 1-2 tbsp. idli podi 
• 3-4 tbsp. fresh grated coconut 
• 2-3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped 
• pinch of salt
• oil to shallow fry 

  

          To make the dosa, heat a tawa / griddle and spread a ladleful of the batter. Spread it around in a circular motion with the back of the ladle. 

          Drizzle some oil around the edges and spread some of the ingredients mentioned above (except cheese). 

          Spread it evenly all around the dosa and sprinkle some cheese over it. Cook on one side till the cheese melts. 

          Cut the dosa into 2" long strips. Gently roll the dosa from one end to the other and arrange on a serving plate. 

          Make similar jini dosa with the remaining batter and the stuffing. Garnish with more grated cheese, coconut, coriander leaves and idli podi and serve with coconut chutney.
