    Paneer Masala Dosa Recipe

    I was totally busy yesterday..We went for shopping for my wedding on my birthday (yes it was my birthday). We started our trip at 7 in the morning and returned back home at 12 in the night..A whole day of shopping..We bought all sorts of sarees, salwars and stuffs like that..We had lots of fun and it was a amazing day..I will write more about my wedding shopping in my other blog..Now coming to this dosa recipe..This one is inspired from the dosa which we used to get in a hotel called gowri shankar..It is a pretty famous shop here..They serve this amazing dosa..Walking across that shop makes us to get in.. One day i did that too..I bought a parcel of this dosa to my house and it was so good..I thought to recreate this dish and i did it..

    About this Recipe

    Masala dosa is a variation of the popular South Indian dosa, which originated in Karnatakas Tuluva Udupi cuisine. Its made with rice, lentils, potatoes, fenugreek, ghee, and curry leaves and comes with chutneys and sambar. It is popular in South India, but it is also available in the rest of the country and abroad. The preparation of
    masala dosa varies from city to city in South India.

    Paneer, also known as ponir or Indian cottage cheese, is a fresh acid- set cheese made from cow or buffalo milk that is popular in the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). It is a soft, non-melting cheese made by curdling milk with a fruit or vegetable-derived acid, such as lemon
    juice. Chena is the acid-set form (curd) before pressing.

    Ingredients for Paneer Masala Dosa :

    Paneer :
    Paneer has a mild, milky flavour and a dense crumbly texture that complements the strong spicy flavours found in many traditional Indian dishes. Because it does not melt like other cheeses, chunks of it can be stirred into soups or curries and stay whole.

      Dosa and paneer curry is quite an unusual combination. Are you talking about Annapoorna Gowri Sankar? I love their masala dosas.
      More than 12 hours of shopping.....WOW!!!
