How to make Cheese Dosa

1. 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. If using idli batter and if Its thick, then add a few tablespoons of water and mix well.

2. Heat a well seasoned skillet or tawa. Grease it with oil. 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.

If you don’t use a well-seasoned tawa or skillet then the dosa might stick to the skillet.

3. Keep the heat to a low and take a spoon or ladle full of the dosa batter.

4. As soon as you pour the batter, begin to gently spread the batter.

5. Cook on a low heat.

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

7. Then add some finely chopped tomatoes.

8. Now sprinkle dried or fresh herbs and freshly crushed black pepper. For the herbs, I used some chopped fresh basil and dried oregano.

9. Sprinkle grated cheese all over.

10. Continue to cook the dosa on a low heat. The cheese will also start melting.

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

12. Cook till the base becomes nicely golden and the top of the dosa is also cooked well.

13. Then lift the cheese dosa.

14. Fold a part of one side. Overlap the second part.

15. So you get a neatly folded cheese dosa.

16. Serve butter cheese dosa hot with coconut chutney or Sambar. You can also serve it with Tomato Chutney or onion chutney. If you want you can slice the cheese dosa and serve it.

For the best taste and texture have it hot.
