Cheese Dosa
Cheese Dosa is a delightful fusion of traditional South Indian cuisine and cheesy goodness, making it an irresistible treat for breakfast or as a snack. Originating from the southern regions of India, the dosa is a thin, crispy crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter. When filled with gooey, melted cheese and a hint of zesty green chutney, it transforms into a comfort food that will please both kids and adults alike. Pair it with coconut chutney or sambar for a complete and satisfying meal!
Ingredients
- Dosa batter
- 2 cups
- Salt
- to taste
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1 cup
- Green chutney
- 1/4 cup
- Coconut chutney (for serving)
- 1/2 cup
- Sambar (for serving)
- 1 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the green chutney by blending fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Pour a ladle full of dosa batter in the center of the pan and quickly spread it in a circular motion to make a thin dosa, ensuring even thickness.
- Spread a tablespoon of butter on the dosa, allowing it to melt and seep into the crepe.
- Spread a generous amount of green chutney evenly over the dosa, enhancing the flavor profile.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over half of the dosa, ensuring even coverage for optimal melting.
- Fold the dosa in half, pressing lightly with a spatula to seal the cheese inside.
- Cook until the cheese melts and the dosa turns golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar for dipping.
Tips

- Experiment with different types of cheese such as pepper jack or feta for unique flavors.
- You can add finely chopped vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the cheese filling for added nutrition.
