Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Split urad dal
• 1.5 cups Idli rice
• 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 200 grams Paneer
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 small Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.75 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and soak the split urad dal and fenugreek seeds together in water for about 4 hours.

Step 2

Separately, rinse and soak the idli rice in water for at least 4 hours.

Step 3

Grind the urad dal and fenugreek seeds into a smooth batter adding water gradually. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Grind the soaked rice into a smooth batter and mix it with the urad dal batter. Add 1 cup of water gradually to make a thick, smooth batter.

Step 5

Cover and let the batter ferment for 8-12 hours in a warm place until it doubles in volume. Stir the batter gently and add a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Crumble the paneer in a bowl and set aside.

Step 7

Finely chop the onion, green chilies, ginger, and coriander leaves.

Step 8

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat.

Step 9

Add cumin seeds and let them splutter, followed by onions, green chilies, and ginger. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.

Step 10

Add turmeric powder to the pan, then add the crumbled paneer and sauté for 2-3 minutes until everything is well-mixed.

Step 11

Add coriander leaves, mix well, and turn off the heat. Set the paneer filling aside.

Step 12

Heat a non-stick tawa or pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of oil.

Step 13

Pour a ladleful of fermented batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 14

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the underside is golden brown and crispy.

Step 15

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

Step 16

Repeat the process for the remaining batter and filling. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
