Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Urad dal flour
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Paneer
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
• 3 tablespoons Oil
• 2 tablespoons Ghee

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal flour, and salt. Gradually add 2 cups of water, stirring continuously to make a smooth batter without any lumps. The batter should be of pouring consistency. Cover and rest it for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, to prepare the paneer filling, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 3

Add chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in finely chopped green chilies and sauté for another minute.

Step 5

Add turmeric powder and red chili powder, and mix well.

Step 6

Crumble the paneer and add it to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the paneer is lightly browned.

Step 7

Add chopped coriander leaves and mix everything well. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick pan or a dosa tawa on medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of the dosa batter onto the center of the pan. Using the back of the ladle, spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Drizzle a little ghee around the edges of the dosa and cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown.

Step 10

Place a portion of the prepared paneer filling on one side of the dosa and fold the other side over to enclose the filling.

Step 11

Remove the dosa from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.

Step 12

Serve the gluten-free paneer dosa hot with coconut chutney or any chutney of your choice.
