Paneer Dosa Recipe – पनीर डोसा: Paneer Dosa is a modern twist on traditional Masala Dosa and is especially for cottage cheese (पनीर) lovers. I find it a little heavier than traditional Masala Dosa because cottage cheese contains more fat, but it is incredibly delicious! Everyone should try it at least once.

Ingredients
Rice (चावल) – 2 cups
Fenugreek(मेथी) seeds – 1/2 tsp.
Cottage cheese (पनीर) – 500 grams
Fresh coriander (हरा धनिया) – few sprigs
Green chilli (हरी मिर्च) – 3
Mustard(सरसों) seeds – 1 tsp.
Curry leaves (करीपत्ते) – 8-10
Turmeric(हल्दी) powder – 1/4 tsp.
Oil (तेल) – 3 tbsp.
Water (पानी) for batter.
Salt (नमक) as per taste.
Directions
- Wash and soak rice (चावल) in one container and skinned and split black gram (धूलि उड़द दाल) and fenugreek (मेथी) seeds in one container for overnight.
- Drain and grind skinned and split black gram (धूलि उड़द दाल) and fenugreek (मेथी) seeds to a fine smooth paste, and the rice (चावल) a little coarse (enough to feel a texture, like fine sand).
- Mix the two grated ingredients with salt and enough water to form a batter of dropping consistency.
- Leave this batter in a warm place for overnight to ferment to a spongy batter.
- Mesh cottage cheese (पनीर) and finely chop fresh coriander (हरा धनिया). Keep aside
- Heat oil in a thick pan and add a mustard (सरसों) seeds, sauté till start crackling.
- Add curry leaves (करी पत्ते), green chilli (हरी मिर्च). Sauté for a minute.
- Add salt and turmeric (हल्दी) powder. Sauté for a minute.
- Now add this mixture over meshed cottage cheese (पनीर) with finely chopped fresh coriander (हरा धनिया), mix well and keep aside.
- Heat tawa and brush oil on it. When very hot, splash little water on it and immediately pour batter onto it, spreading it thin, with a circular motion.
- After spreading the batter, lower the heat and trickle a little oil around the edges so that it soaks under the dosa.
- When edges start browning a bit, pass a flat spoon under dosa to ease the dosa off the pan. Put cottage cheese (पनीर) on the centre, and half fold it.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney and Sāmbhar.
