Ingredients
For Broccoli Masala Filling:
* 1 large broccoli, cut into florets
* 2 tsp oil
* 1 tsp mustard seeds
* ½ tsp hing (asafoetida)
* 2 green chilies, finely chopped
* 1 small onion, chopped
* ½ tsp turmeric powder
* 1 tsp red chili powder
* ½ inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
* 2 sprigs curry leaves
* 2 tsp channa dal (split Bengal gram)
* 1 tbsp cashew nuts
* Salt to taste
* 1 tsp black pepper powder
* 1 tbsp cheese spread
For Dosa Batter:
* Use homemade dosa batter or store-bought batter.
Instructions
Step 1: Blanch the Broccoli
1. Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into florets.
2. Blanch in hot water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer into cold water to retain its crunch and colour.
3. Chop the broccoli finely and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Broccoli Masala
1. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add hing, ginger, green chillies, and curry leaves.
2. Add channa dal, cashew nuts, and onions. Sauté until golden and aromatic.
3. Stir in the chopped broccoli, and season with salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and black pepper powder.
4. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add cheese spread, combine thoroughly, and set the filling aside.
Step 3: Cook the Dosa
1. Heat a non-stick tawa and pour a ladleful of dosa batter. Spread it thinly into a circular shape.
2. Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook until the dosa turns crisp and golden.
Step 4: Assemble the Dosa
1. Spread the prepared broccoli masala filling over the dosa. Fold it and serve hot.
2. Pair it with spicy peanut chutney for a perfect, irresistible combo!
Tips:
* Blanching the broccoli helps retain its vibrant colour and crunch.
* Adjust the spice levels to suit your taste.
* Cheese spread adds a creamy touch, but you can skip it for a vegan option.
