If you haven’t been to see us for breakfast yet, you can try this recipe out at home which is a popular dish at The Cinnamon Club. It was the Southern Indians who first popularised this simple dish and as with pizza, you can chop and change toppings to suit the occasion.

Serves 4
Ingredients
200g packet of dosa mix (available at Asian shops)
a little vegetable oil
1/2 a red onion, finely chopped
1/3 red pepper, finely diced
1/3 yellow pepper, finely diced
1 tomato, skinned, deseeded and finely diced
2 tbsps finely chopped coriander
Green Coconut Chutney to serve

Make up the dosa mix according to the instructions on the packet. Spread a little oil over a large pan or flat griddle and place over a medium heat. Pour about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the batter into the centre of the pan and, using the back of a ladle, spread it out quickly to form a pancake about 10cm in diameter.

Dot the edges of the pancake with a little oil and sprinkle with some of the chopped vegetables and coriander to form a colourful topping. Cook over a low heat for about 4 minutes, until golden underneath. Turn over and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 panckaes altogether. Serve with the green coconut chutney.

Happy New Year! It’s only the 4th but the holidays already seem a distant memory. If you are feeling the January blues coming on, head down to see us. We’re back to our normal hours now so why not start the day with a calming Indian breakfast? We’re open from 7.30am so there’s plenty of time to browse through the broadsheets before heading off to the office or if the thought of getting up in the dark is too much to bear, head along later (we serve breakfast until 9.30am) – either way, inject some spice into your day and banish those blues!
