Tomato chutney for Paneer Dosa and Cheese Dosa

Its been a long time that I made dosa and today I am all set to make it. Whenever I make Plain Dosa I always make my favourite Potato Curry to go with it and if I have patience I make some chutney also. Today its the Tomato Chutney's turn.

                     And today I am making Paneer dosa and cheese dosa for the kids

Paneer Dosa (Lentil crepe sprinkled with cottage cheese)

Here is How to make Fresh Paneer
Soak the black grams and rice separately in 3 cups of water over night or for atleast 5 hours. Grind them to a smooth paste and mix with salt and water to get a thin pancake batter consistency. Heat a griddle and add a laddle of batter in the center and spread the with the back of the laddle with a light hand. Add a teaspoon of oil around the edge of the dosa. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the edges turn golden. Turn it and fry for 1 more minute. Sprinkle with the grated paneer mixed with a pinch of red chilly powder for spicyness. Serve as is or with chutneys and curries
