Instructions

Preparation

• Finely chop 1 large onion and 1 large tomato. Also, grate the cheese and keep it aside.

• Take the batter and with a spoon stir a few times. If the batter is refrigerated, then let it come to room temperature.

• Heat a skillet or tawa. Grease it with oil. Make sure to use a well-seasoned skillet or tawa. Otherwise, the dosa can stick to the skillet.

• You can do this either with a cooking brush dipped in a bit of oil or with a small piece of kitchen napkin (paper or cotton) or a halved onion.

• Keep the flame to a low and take a spoon or ladle full of the dosa batter.

• As soon as you pour the batter, begin to gently spread the batter. cook on a low flame.

• When the top is getting cooked, sprinkle some chopped onions on top.

• Then add some chopped tomatoes.

• Now sprinkle dried or fresh herbs. I used some chopped fresh basil and dried oregano.

Making Cheese Dosa

• Sprinkle grated cheese all over.

• Continue to cook the dosa on a low flame. The cheese will also start melting.

• At the same time, spread some butter on the sides and on the top. You can also use oil instead of butter.

• Cook till the base becomes nicely golden and the top of the cheese dosa is also cooked.

• Then lift the cheese dosa and fold a part of one side. Overlap the second part.

• Serve butter cheese dosa hot with coconut chutney or sambar. You can also serve it with tomato chutney or onion chutney.
