Ingredients
For the Dosa
- 1/2 package Multi-Grain Dosa Batter (or idli batter)
- 3-4 tbsp Ghee
For the Paneer Masala
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 large Onion finely chopped
- 1 Tomato finely chopped
- 1 Chili green, slit lengthwise
- 1/2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 4-5 Curry Leaves
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese crumbled
- 3/4 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tbsp Coriander chopped
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the green chili, ginger-garlic paste, and curry leaves. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté until they break down and soften, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Stir in the garam masala and chopped cilantro.
- Add the crumbled paneer and sauté for 2-3 minutes to coat it with the spices. Cover and cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove the paneer masala from the heat and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat.
- Once hot, reduce the heat to low. This prevents the dosa from burning and ensures even cooking.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of dosa batter onto the hot tawa. Using the back of a ladle, quickly spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin crepe.
- Drizzle a little ghee around the edges and over the surface of the dosa. This adds flavor and crispiness.
- After a minute, gently press the dosa with a spatula to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Once the edges start to brown and the dosa becomes crispy, place 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared paneer masala in the center.
- Fold the dosa in half or roll it up.
- Serve the hot, crispy Paneer Masala Dosa immediately with coconut chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the recipe. This enhances their natural oils and creates a more complex taste.
- Adjust the sweetness and spices to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter dish, add a touch more sugar or honey. For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili flakes or other spices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Substitute different types of nuts, dried fruits, or spices to create your own unique version of the recipe.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
