Spinach Palak Dosa

 Ingredients :
            • Spinach leaves 1 bowl 
            • Wheat flour 
            • Green chilies 2 finely chopped
            • Oil
            • salt to taste
            • coriander leaves finely chopped

Time Required : 20 minutes
Serving : 2 persons

Method :
  • Take the washed spinach leaves and blend them in a paste. 
  • Take the rawa, add grated bottle gourd, green chilies,  coriander leaves, water, salt to taste and make a smooth batter. It should not be very much watery or very much thick.
  • Take a pan (non stick if possible), grease it with oil and put on the high flame.
  • Add batter to it to form a dosa.
  • Cover the lid and keep it for 2 minutes on sim flame. ( If you are not doing multitasking, like I usually do, you can keep it on high flame for a minute). 
  • If its brown on the back, turn the side, put little oil and cook for a while.
  • Serve hot with green chutney, tomato sauce/ghee as preferred.
Health Benefits :   

Eating spinach in diet regularly helps prevent iron deficiency, anemia , weakening of bones, cardiovascular diseases.
Cooking spinach increases its health benefits. Human body can not completely break down the nutrients found in raw spinach by itself  and that's the reason half cup of cooked spinach will give us thrice as much nutrition as one cup of raw spinach. The exception for this is blended form spinach which is considered to be healthiest form of eating spinach.

Bonus tip :   Its better to choose tender little spinach leaves.Larger leaves are more matured and may become tough or stringy. Also spinach leaves in direct sunlight are found to have more nutrients than the ones stored in darkness.
You can add rice floor/besan/wheat floor to make the batter which will make it more healthy and you will get different taste as well.


  • Fuel Saving Tip : If you keep aside the batter for some time say half an hour, you will require less time/energy to cook the dosa.
