Jini dosa is popular mumbai street food that most of us wouldn’t have missed a chance to relish it. Jini dosa is a cheesy, spicy and yummilicious dosa loaded with veggies is a kind of pizza in street food version. Jini dosa is often served in the form of rolls and served with sambar and chutney. This recipe below may not be exact recipe that street food vendor uses but will surely match at least tiny bits. For the below recipe I used a spicy and tangy chutney as spread for dosa which can be replaced with any tangy or spicy chutney of your choice. Actually my friend who gave this recipe told me use the chutney in the recipe without tempering, since I felt raw smell from it and tempered it and then used. I also served the same chutney along with tiffin sambar for jini dosa which tasted excellent. You can prepare the tomato chutney a day before too and use it next day for dosa and serve the dosa with coconut chutney too. So lets get the making!
