Paneer & Broccoli Dosa Roll

A mixture of broccoli and cottage cheese stuffed into a rice pancake / dosa makes an interesting breakfast or even a snack. Ovie does not like to dip her dosa or roti's into anything; be it a chutney or a curry. So I always try to add vegetables to the dosa to make it as loaded  and tasty as possible ! This roll is best eaten hot and crisp with a dip of your choice.


Paneer & Broccoli Dosa Roll


Dosa Batter: enough for 4 dosas

For Filling:
Broccoli: 1/2 cup grated
Paneer / cottage cheese: 1/2 cup crumbled

• Heat oil in a pan and add the seasoning ingredients. When it splutters add the garlic and onion and saute until lightly brown.

• When the top side is cooked , spread a portion of the broccoli - paneer filling all over the dosa. Press lightly so that it sticks to the dosa.
