2 tablespoons (for cooking)
Salt

Garam masala
1 teaspoon
Red chilli powder
1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh ginger, grated
1 inch piece

2 medium
Onions, finely chopped
1 large
Paneer, crumbled
1 cup

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  2. Stir in the finely chopped green chillies and grated ginger. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and break down.
  4. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to combine all the spices.
  5. Gently fold in the crumbled paneer and cook for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Heat a dosa pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to create a thin dosa.
  7. Once the dosa starts to cook and the edges lift, place a spoonful of the paneer masala filling in the center. Fold the dosa over the filling.
  8. Cook the dosa on both sides until it is crispy and golden brown, adding a little oil if necessary.
  9. Serve the Paneer Masala Dosa hot with coconut chutney and sambar on the side.
