Method

For the dosa batter

Combine the wheat and rice flour in a bowl, add enough water and mix well to a smooth batter. Keep aside.
For the tempering, heat the oil in a small non-stick pan and add the chana dal, urad dal, mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the curry leaves and green chillies, pour the tempering over the dosa batter and mix well. Keep aside.

For the stuffing

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the green chillies and tomatoes, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the green peas, paneer, chaat masala, coriander and salt, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for another minute.
Divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

Add the salt and the fruit salt to the dosa batter and sprinkle a few drops of water over it.
When the bubbles form, mix gently.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it lightly with oil.
Spread 2 tbsp of the batter evenly to make a dosa of 100 mm (4”) diameter.
Cook on both sides till golden brown using ¼ tsp of oil.
Remove on a plate, place a portion of the stuffing at an edge and fold it to make a semi-circle.
Repeat with the remaining dosa batter and stuffing to make 7 more dosas. Serve hot.
