How to make paneer dosa

Step 1: Firstly take the all ingredients in perfect quantity. Shred the paneer before using it it the masala.

Step 2: Now take a preheated non-stick tawa (temperature should be medium of the tawa). Then add 1/2 cup of dosa batter on it. after that spread it evenly using a flat steal bowl from center to out side. Make you dosa as round as possible. Wait for 1 minutes.

Tips: My tawa diameter is 25 cm and perfect for a large dosa. So I have used 1/2 of batter. Use dosa batter accordingly your tawa size. Otherwise you dosa would be thick so you might not enjoy the crispiness of dosa.

Step 3: At this point put 1 tbsp. of butter on the top of dosa and spread then equally. Cook the dosa for another 2 minutes on medium flame. It make the dosa crispy and perfect brown in color.

Step 4: Now add the paneer masala on it. I like cheese in my dosa, So I have added it on top of the paneer masala.

Step 5: Try to fold the dosa from that side, which came out first from tawa. For this use a thin spatula.

Step 6: Take it out on a plate and make the other dosa using the same methods.

Step 7: Serve with green coconut chutney and sambar. Enjoy your fresh morning with delicious breakfast.

There are two type of rice in market, one is raw rice and other is steam rice. Mainly we have bought dosa rice or raw rice to make dosa batter.

I suggest you that don’t make dosa batter using steam rice. In that case, your dosa will stick on pan and wouldn’t come out properly.
