Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dosa batter
- 200 grams Paneer
- 1 cup Green peas
- 1 large Onion
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 units Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the paneer stuffing: crumble the paneer and set it aside.
Finely chop the onion, ginger, and green chilies.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
Add the chopped onions, ginger, and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir everything well.
Add the crumbled paneer and green peas to the onion mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the curry leaves and coriander leaves, mix well, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To prepare the dosa, heat a non-stick tawa or griddle on medium-high. Add a few drops of oil and spread it using a kitchen paper.
Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the center of the pan and spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the edges start lifting from the pan.
Place a portion of the paneer stuffing in the center of the dosa and fold it over.
Cook for another minute to let the flavors meld and the dosa crisps up nicely.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and stuffing.
Serve the high protein paneer dosa hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.
