Soya Protein Pancake

 ( சோயா மசாலா தோசை ) 

                                      
Ingredients:
( for 4 servings )
Soya Protein / Meal maker ( சோயா)  -  1/4 cup
Idli / Dosai batter ( தோசை மாவு ) - 1 cup
Small Onion ( சின்ன வெங்காயம் ) - 8 nos
Turmeric Powder ( மஞ்சள் தூள் ) - 1/4 tsp
Chili Powder ( மிளகாய் தூள் )  -  1/2 tsp
Garam Masala Powder ( கரம் மசாலா ) - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves ( கறிவேப்பிலை )  -  1 twig
Salt to taste ( உப்பு ) - to taste
Steps:
Soak the soya chunks in hot water for 10 min.
Squeeze out the water, rinse well. The soaked soya will be spongy and soft, shred it into bite size using fingers. Alternatively use a knife to chop.
Boil soya for 3 to 4 minutes.

Peel and finely chop the small onions

In a wok, heat oil and saute onions.
Add curry leaves, soya bits, turmeric powder, chilli powder and mix well.

After 2 minutes, add garam masala powder and saute for 2 more minutes.                                             transfer to a bowl and let it cool.                                       

                                                     

Heat the tawa - a flat pan used to make dosai and chapathis
Spread the dosai batter evenly into a thin circle.
Place the stuffing in the center.
Add a teaspoon of oil surrounding the edges of the dosai.
Cover the dosai with a lid, cook on a medium flame.
Remove the lid after a minute.
Roll and fold the dosai into a semicircle. Let it roast on both sides until it is crisp.

My notes:

A variation is always welcome and especially in food.

A slight difference from the potato masala/onion/vegetable dosai .

Try out the tasty healthy dosai.

I had prepared coriander chutney and onion chutney instead of the usual coconut chutney.

I have not used ginger and green chili in this recipe. If spicier is your choice, go ahead.

This is a simple, easy to make at the same time yummy dosai.

The soya masala can also be a quick fix side dish for your curd rice.
