Jini Dosa is a popular Mumbai street style dosa. Jini Dosa is topped with veggies, sauces, spices and is cooked till it turns crispy. The dosa is then cut into strips and rolled and is later topped with grated cheese. This is perfect for evening snack or even dinner for that matter. This dosa is very popular amongst kids.

Notes
For the stuffing I have used spring onions, yellow capsicum, green capsicum and purple cabbage. You can use regular onions, capsicum of your choice and ordinary green cabbage too.
Cook the dosa on low heat allowing it to turn crispy.
In case cutting of dosa strips becomes difficult, you can roll the dosa, remove it on a cutting board and then cut into pieces.
