Paneer Dosa Recipe

This paneer dosa recipe is an interesting variation from the usual potato filling of the masala dosa.

I did not have enough 'alu-potato' and just had about enough 'paneer' to make the last 2 dosas when I tried this about 2 and and a half years ago at Bangalore.

It was really yummy and is a welcome break when we don't feel like eating Potato stuffed Dosai at home.

Making paneer dosa

Heat a pan and add oil.

When they splutter, add finely chopped onions and chillies.
Fry till onions are soft.
Add chopped tomatoes and fry well till oil leaves the side of the cooking mixture.
Now,add crumbled paneer,salt and haldi. Fry till soft.
Add Rasam powder. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes till smell of rasam powder changes.
