Paneer Dosa

An interesting variation from the potato filling of the masala dosa.I did not have enough 'alu' and just about enough 'paneer' to make the last 2 dosas when I tried this about 2 and and a half years ago at Bangalore.It was really yummy and is a welcome break when we don't feel like eating Potato stuffed Dosai at home.


Ingredients
Dosa batter- to make enough dosas

I give the requirements for filling about 6-7 dosas
Paneer-250 grams
Onions-2
Green chillies-2
Tomatoes-1 to 2
Mustard seeds- 1 tsp
Jeera seeds (optional)- a pinch
Red Chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
Rasam powder- 1 1/2 tsp (can add less according to taste)
(will post the family recipe soon)
Salt- to taste
Turmeric (haldi) pd- 1/4 tsp
Oil- to fry

Heat a pan and add oil.
Add mustard and jeera seeds.
When they splutter, add finely chopped onions and chillies.
Fry till onions are soft.
Add chopped tomatoes and fry well till oil leaves the side of the cooking mixture.
Now,add crumbled paneer,salt and haldi.
Fry till soft.
Add Rasam powder.
Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes till smell of rasam powder changes.
Garnish with Coriander leaves if desired.

After dosa is cooked on both sides,place in centre and fold.
Tastes best when served with ketchup and tomato-based chutneys.

Dahi Pakhala (Orissa)

Cooked rice soaked in water and seasoned. This is a rice preparation native to Orissa. It is excellent for summers as it cools the body and relieves dehydration. Typically, it is made by fermenting the rice overnight in the water and had in the morning or in the evening there fore called “Basi Pakhala” literally meaning “Stale Pakhala”, but it is named so as it is made from the previous day’s rice. I give my father’s recipe and as we enjoy it at home, well seasoned. To serve two Ingredients Cooked Rice- as required Water- twice the amount of rice Salt Lemon leaves- 5 to 6 Mango-Ginger (Manga-injee/Amba-ada) or ginger- 1 inch http://herbpathy.com/Uses-and-Benefits-of-Mango-Ginger-Cid1077 Green Chilli -2 to 3 Curry leaves- 7 to 8 Curd- 1 medium sized bowl (The amount of curd can be incresed to suit your taste) The rice should be cooked soft and cooled. Left over rice can also be used. Chop the ginger and green chilli. In a large vessel, put the ginger, chilli, salt.
