Description
Paneer Masala Dosa is a delicious and filling variation of the traditional South Indian dosa. This crispy, golden-brown crepe is filled with a spiced paneer (Indian cottage cheese) mixture, making it a hearty option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Served with coconut chutney and sambar, this dish combines the delightful crunch of dosa with the rich flavors of spiced paneer, appealing to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Preparation:
- Prepare the Dosa Batter:
- Soak the rice and urad dal separately. Drain, then blend them into a smooth batter with water. Ferment the batter overnight in a warm place.
- Prepare the Paneer Filling:
- In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, green chilies, and ginger, sautéing until the onions become translucent.
- Add crumbled paneer, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until heated through. Garnish with fresh coriander.
- Cook the Paneer Masala Dosa:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or ghee.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin circle. Drizzle oil around the edges and on top.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then place a portion of the paneer filling on one half of the dosa. Fold the other half over and press gently.
