Savory Green Leafy Pancakes (called Mashinga Pathiye Polo in Konkani) is a very healthy variety of dosa/ pancake. It is highly nutritious because of the drumstick leaves and includes iron, folic acid, magnesium, calcium and a bunch of vitamins. But don’t be fooled by its “healthy looks”… 😄 It is simply sumptuous to taste!! It is really easy to prepare and is a great breakfast to start the day with. Some people also like to consume it as an evening snack. And guess what… this dosa doesn’t even need a side dish/ dip! It tastes great on its own. But if you like it, you can pair it with some pickle. I personally prefer the way Mom used to serve it to me as a kid… Hot pancake just off the pan with a chunk of butter that melts and coats it all over… mmmm… heavenly!! 😋😋
