Instructions
Soak Rice and Dal
Rinse 1 cup parboiled rice and 1/4 cup urad dal together with 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds. Soak in enough water for 4 hours.
Time: PT4H
Grind to Smooth Batter
Drain the soaked rice and dal. Transfer to a blender, add 2 cups fresh water and blend to a smooth, slightly thick batter. Scrape sides and blend again if needed.
Time: PT15M
Ferment Batter
Pour the batter into a large bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it sit at room temperature (around 25‑30°C) for 24 hours until it rises and develops a mildly sour aroma.
Time: PT24H
Temperature: 25-30°C
Boil Potatoes
While the batter ferments, boil 2 medium potatoes until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.
Time: PT15M
Prepare Filling Ingredients
Finely chop 1 onion, 1 tomato, and 2 green chilies. Crumble 200 g paneer. Set aside.
Time: PT10M
Cook Paneer‑Potato Filling
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds and a few curry leaves. When they crackle, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in tomato, green chilies, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, and 1/4 tsp garam masala. Add the mashed potatoes and crumbled paneer, mix well, and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: medium heat
Heat Skillet for Dosa
Place the non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat. Lightly brush with a few drops of oil and let it become hot (about 2 minutes).
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium‑high heat
Spread Batter and Cook Dosa
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet. Using the back of the ladle, spread in a circular motion to form a thin crepe (≈8‑10 inches). Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges. Cook for 2‑3 minutes until the surface loses its shine and the edges turn golden brown.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: medium heat
Add Filling and Fold
Place 2‑3 tbsp of the paneer‑potato filling on one half of the dosa, fold the other half over, and press gently. Cook for another minute to let the filling warm through.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium heat
Serve
Slide the paneer dosa onto a plate, repeat for remaining batter, and serve hot with coconut chutney.
Time: PT5M
