How to make Cheese Dosa :
1. Pour the batter on the griddle with a ladle and spread in a circular motion immediately with the help of ladle back.
2. Sprinkle with oil on the sides and then cover it with a lid for few seconds.
3. Remove the cover and add spread over the grated cheese all over the dosa and cook on very low flame.
4. Don’t turn over, as cheese will get burnt. If you like burnt cheese, then go ahead that way,
5. When dosa is done remove and serve hot with chutneys or sambar.
Notes:
- The varieties are so many. The recipe of mine makes a great one for kids.
- If you wish you can add chopped green chilles, onion and coriander leaves too.
