One of the greens which is used to treat joint pains, constipation,
and has many more health benefits. Usually
on weekends, we go to market and buy
vegetables from there and stock in fridge for the upcoming week. In the market, we get varieties for greens - Mudakathaan, vallarai, thoodhuvalai. These greens should not be boiled while
cooking as it would lose the medicinal benefits. So, I ground and add to the regular dosa
batter and makes dosa out of it. Mudakathan
leaves are slightly bitter in taste, so to overcome the bitter taste I added small
onions. The sweetness rendered from the
small onions defeated the mild bitterness from this medicinal greens. I also sprayed some idly milagai podi to
enhance the taste :-).
INGREDIENTS:
Idly/dosa batter - 3 cups
Mudakathaan greens - 1 cup
Small onion (sliced thin) - 1 cup
Idly podi (optional)
PREPARATION:
1. Remove the leaves from the stem and discard the
stems. Wash the leaves thoroughly in
running cold water.
2. Remove the excess
water by straining and grind it in mixer.
Add it to the dosa batter and mix well.
3. Heat the dosa pan,
add a ladle full of batter and gently spread with the back of the ladle. Sprinkle the sliced small onions and spray
idly milagai podi evenly on top. Drizzle
oil around the sides and top. When one
side is done, flip gently and cook on the other side. When done, remove it and transfer to a plate.
4. Serve hot with chutney/sambar.
5. It can also be prepared without onions as a roast like this.
