Cottage cheese crepe






  Cottage cheese crepe is a dosa that has fillings of spicy cottage cheese. Hence, it is also known as paneer dosa. Paneer means cottage cheese in Hindi. I must say it is a blend of north and south India, because the filling has the flavour of garam masala from north India while the dosa is essentially south Indian.

Ingredients:
Dosa batter - 4cups
Crumbled cottage cheese -2cups
Tomatoes -2
Green chillies -2
Onion - 1
Garam masala powder -1tsp
Turmeric powder -tsp
Sugar -1tsp
Chopped coriander leaves - 2tsps
Salt and oil - As required

Method:
Chop the onions, tomatoes and green chillies finely. Keep it aside.
In a frying pan fry the onions and green chillies in little oil. When the onions become transparent, add all the powders. Saute for few seconds. Then, add the tomatoes, salt and sugar. When the tomatoes become mushy add the crumbled cottage cheese. Stir for few seconds, till everything is blended well. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Spread a ladle full of dosa batter on a hot griddle. Drizzle little oil over it. Flip and cook on both sides. Then place the cottage cheese filling in the middle and wrap the ends to make it look like a roll.
 

Note:  You can also make spicy cottage cheese wraps, by wrapping thin flat breads with this filling.
