The biggest difference I find between my previous working for a corporate self versus working for the home is that I used to crave for weekends then and now I absolutely dread them. I had Monday morning blues then and now I have Friday night chills. I simply can’t wait for the Monday morning when I can pack up the husband and daughter and let out a relieved sigh. The biggest worry for the weekend is to balance everyone’s taste and health, manage to spend time with them and also manage some respite for me. Not easy I tell you.
So this dish happened in one of the weekends when I wanted to eat masala dosai but had no potatoes or patience to make one. So I simply chopped up some onion, tomatoes and capsicum, topped it with loads of cheese and was rewarded with pleas for seconds and satisfied sighs. Miracles happen!
Serves 2-3
WHAT WE NEED
3 cups Dosai batter
1 large onion
1 large tomato
1 large capsicum
2-3 green chillies
1 sprig curry leaves, finely chopped
2 tsp oil + for making dosais
Lots of shredded cheese
Salt
WHAT TO DO
- Finely chop the onion, tomato and capsicum
- Heat 2 tsp oil in a small pan
- Add the green chillies and onion, tomato and capsicum and mix well
- Add salt and let it cook till it is cooked well and the liquid from the tomato has almost dried out
- Set aside
- Heat a tava and pour a ladle full of batter on it
- Spread it in concentric motion and make into a dosai
- Add oil to the end of the dosai and let it cook
- Add one spoon of the onion mixture on top of the dosai and spread it
- Top it with as much shredded cheese as you want
- Use the spatula to loosen the dosai and fold it into three
- Repeat with the rest of the batter
- Serve warm
- Enjoy!

Yummy, really looks yummy and light, have to try it out!
My cheese loving son will enjoy thoroughly these cheesy masala dosas, lipsmacking here.. Delicious dosas Sowmya.
I dread Sunday so much because I will be working all day and when Monday arrives, I just can’t wait for hubby and Sruti to leave home so that I get some rest. I guess this happens with every one. The cheese dosa looks amazing and I know my daughter would love this for sure..
I totally agree about the weekend blues 🙂 This cheesy dosa will be appreciated by my little one for sure.
I like the bit where you’ve written lots of shredded cheese. That makes me happy. Then come to think of it, a cheese dosa is not a cheese dosa if it does not have loads of cheese in it. Yummy recipe.
I totally understand your plight. A huge sigh of relief as soon as everyone is out of the house. 🙂 Who can say no to this cheese delicacy ? 🙂
