Paneer Dosa |South Indian Breakfast With Paneer

I  recently came across this keto dosa recipe by Magic in my Food original recipe and I just had to try it. In the past I had used almond flour and cheese  to make dosa but due to the effort and time, I rarely made the *typical* south indian dishes. Seeing this recipe made me curious about the outcome as one would normally think that it will stick to the bottom, I definitely thought so as the batter has no binder. 

So the recipe basically calls for 

Cottage cheese/Paneer, yogurt and water. 

Yes, that's it. 

I just made a couple of additions with garlic and chilli powder.

Blend the above, make a smooth pancake like batter and pour on your pan.  The secret is in cooking it on very low flame and being really patient and honestly that is what I lack when it comes to food. It took time to cook but I was shocked with the outcome  as it is  soft intially but crisps up and paired with chutneys its delicious. 

Note:The dosa is very crunchy so it needs to be served immediately. It will becomes hard if it is served even after a couple of minutes.

So in my opinion the dish is a lovely alternative for people who don't have or enjoy eggs in their keto diet but the time factor makes me think about it twice. It is a different way of cooking and eating paneer as normally its just curry or tikka but I  would make this dish maybe on some special ocassions only.
