About Schezwan Dosa
Growing up in Mumbai, I have by now, tried almost all dosa variations. Also, I love and each and every version that I’ve tried till today. Thus, this recipe of Schezwan Dosa is my tribute to one of the most loved street foods of Mumbai. While I may not be able to match the vibe that the street vendors create while preparing this typical dosa, the recipe is quite a fool proof one. Be rest assured that you’ll have delicious dosas with Schezwan sauce in it. This Schezwan Dosa recipe only has vegetables and Schezwan sauce in it. I haven’t added the quintessential potato or aloo masala in it as I wanted to keep it simpler than the usual. Thus making it more dominant with the flavors of the hot sauce. This is also an easier and quicker version because if you have your leftover dosa batter, you can use it to make this Schezwan Dosa. All you would need is the Schezwan sauce and some grated or finely chopped veggies. These dosas will also make for a healthy and wholesome breakfast. However, if you have time in hand and want to make this dish from scratch, here are the Dosa Batter and Schezwan Sauce recipes that will help you prepare the Schezwan Dosa like a pro. Once you’ve made the dosas, you can have them immediately, all by themselves. Or else you can serve these lovely dosas with the usual Sambar and Coconut Chutney, and turn it into a hearty brunch meal as well.
