How to 食谱:

1) Boil a large pot of water.  When water is boiling, add batches of spinach as space allows.  Remove spinach after about 2 min or until cooked through.

2) Dice onions and peppers. Make sure to remove all seeds and core from onions.

3) Saute onion and peppers on low heat until soft.

4) In food processor, combine spinach, onion, green peppers, 1 tsp salt, garlic, pepper to taste, and tablespoon of garam masala.

5) After all ingredients are blended, taste and adjust salt, pepper, and garam masala to your liking. Set aside mixture if you want hot dip or let cool in fridge for cold dip.

6) Follow directions on Dosa packet to make 8 dosas (type of Indian flatbread). Try to use as flat a pan as possible. You can tell from the picture that when the pan is imperfect, the heat is distributed unevenly and the bread will crack.  When you pour the batter, you can wait until the edges start to turn brown before flipping.

That’s it! 1 dosa is more than enough for 1 person, so you could easily feed 8 people with this as an appetizer.

Nutrition Facts 营养价值:

Dosas are gluten free! This is great if you love baked goods but not wheat-induced indigestion.  The dosa ingredients are simple, just rice flour, black lentil flour, salt, and some fenugreek powder.  It’s only about 88 kCal per dosa. Here’s the nutrition label from the package:

Steamed spinach, raw garlic, peppers, and onion are of course full of healthy vitamins, minerals, and soluble fiber, and also low-cal like the dosas. It’s a delicious substitute for dairy-based or oil-based dips!

印度饼和菠菜将

中文版翻译：江丹

要出席一个宴会吗？一种独特的素食菠菜饼会让人们印象深刻。

材料:

1）期源店的米豆糊（一盒14元）

2）3束菠菜（大约10杯散装的生菠菜）

3）5个阿纳海姆辣椒（长的，绿色的，味道淡的）

4）4瓣蒜

5）1个白洋葱

6）适量的盐和胡椒

7）伽兰马莎拉（综合辛香料）（起源超市或者三源里菜市场有）

 食谱:

1）煮一大锅水，当水烧开时，加入菠菜。大约2分钟或熟透后，捞起菠菜。

2）将洋葱和辣椒切成小丁。一定要去掉辣椒籽和洋葱心。

3）小火慢炒洋葱和辣椒至到它们变软。

4）将菠菜、洋葱、青椒、1茶匙盐、蒜、适量的胡椒和1汤匙伽兰马莎拉放在食品加工机里。

5）所有的原料搅碎之后，按照你的口味调入适量的盐、胡椒和伽兰马莎拉。如果你想吃热食，抑或想吃冷食，将它放在一边，待它凉了之后放入冰箱冷却。

6）按照米豆糊包装盒上的说明书来做8张饼（一种印度薄饼）。试着尽可能的用平底锅。你可以从这幅图中看得出来当锅不好时，热量分布不均匀，饼就会破裂。把面糊倒入锅里，直到它的边缘开始变成褐色，然后再翻转。

这就是印度薄饼，1张饼1个人吃绰绰有余，因此你可以轻易的用这个饼作为开胃菜提供给8个人。

营养价值:

印度薄饼不含麸质！如果你喜欢吃烘焙的食品，但是又不会因为小麦食品而引起消化不良，那么印度薄饼对你而言是很好的。这种饼的成份很简单，只是一些米粉、黑色的小扁豆面粉、盐、和一些胡芦巴粉。每张饼仅仅只有88千卡的热量。这是包装盒上的营养标签。

青蒸的菠菜、生蒜、辣椒和洋葱当然富有健康的维生素、矿物质和可溶性纤维质，同时也像印度薄饼那样热卡含量少。这是奶制品和油炸食品的美味替代品。
