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.. Oneday 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..
These are crisp dosa which is stuffed with a creamy spicy paneer masala..YUM YUM..I made this for my perimma on the other day, she loved it a lot..We had great time cooking this together…She also taught me ‘how to cook the perfect ghee roast’, will try to post that soon..So here you go to the recipe and let me know what you think..I am sending this recipe to Blogging Marathan Day 2 under the theme Seven Days of Dosa Recipes

    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!!!
