Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice
• 0.25 cup Urad dal
• 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 200 grams Low-fat paneer
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 piece, finely chopped Green chili
• 6 leaves Curry leaves
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice and urad dal under running water. Soak them together with fenugreek seeds in enough water for at least 4 hours.

Step 2

Drain the soaked ingredients and blend them into a smooth batter using a little water. The batter should be of pouring consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the batter to a large bowl, add salt, and mix well. Cover and let it ferment overnight or for about 8 hours.

Step 4

Once fermented, stir the batter and adjust the consistency if needed by adding a little water.

Step 5

For the low-fat paneer filling, crumble the paneer and set aside.

Step 6

Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, and allow them to splutter. Add onions, green chili, curry leaves, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are golden brown.

Step 7

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 8

Add crumbled paneer to the pan and mix thoroughly with the spices. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 9

To make the dosa, heat a non-stick tawa or griddle. Pour a ladle of batter onto the tawa and spread it in circular motions to make a thin dosa.

Step 10

Cook the dosa on medium heat until it turns golden brown on the bottom. Gently flip it and cook the other side for a few seconds.

Step 11

Place a portion of the paneer filling in the center of the dosa and fold it over.

Step 12

Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
