Mumbai Street Style Jini Dosa



I happened to see a reel of a street vendor making these yummy dosas. I had to immediately try them at home! And ever since, jini dosa has been a favorite. My family loves it! JINI DOSA are dosa which is  smeared with a blop of butter and some veggies like chopped onion, tomatoes, coriander leaves, spring onion, capsicum are added. These dosas are tangy, sweet, spicy and cheesy..in short..ALL THINGS GOOD🤤

I always stock up on my homemade Szechuan sauce and this is one of the recipes that I use it for, quite often! 

Make sure not to cook the veggies well, they need a crunch to it! I could never imagine Dosa without ghee and/ coconut oil and this Dosa really is completely different! Adding the paneer to the masala gives it a whole new makeover which makes it avoid source of protein too. These Dosa can be served with chutneys of your choice, but I like them as it is! Jini Dosas are already flavor packed! The cheese pull says it all😍

Ingredients: (for one Jini Dosa)


  • Dosa Batter (comment below if you want the recipe)
  • 1-2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli powder

  • Coriander leaves, chopped
  • Spring onion, chopped
  • 4-5 Paneer Cubes
  • Salt, as required 
  • 1 tbsp Homemade Szechuan Sauce
  • 1 tsp Tomato Ketchup
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Spring Onion, to garnish

Instructions:

  1. Pour a ladleful of Dosa batter and swirl the ladle to get a thin crepe.
  2. Once slightly cooked, add a blop of butter and spread the butter evenly.
  3. Now add the spice powder like Kashmiri red chilli powder, garam masala powder and the chopped veggies, and herbs and crumble the paneer cubes and add to the masala and salt as required and mix gently.
  4. Add sauces like Szechuan sauce and tomato ketchup and cook covered using a small bowl for around a minute.

 Mac n Paneer




Well, Paneer is a form of cheese , isn't it? This is the Indian version of Mac n Cheese :D

I had some Paneer laying in fridge to be used, and I had to quickly whip up something before my girl returns from school. That's when I thought of preparing the Indian Mac n Cheese also known as Mac n Paneer. You can always play with the flavors according your preference, like add other veggies or spices of your choice. 

There is no chopping involved in this recipe. The capsicum is also chopped by pulsing in the mixer jar along with tomato paste and other spices. I have not used green chillies or chilli flakes as my girl does not like her food spicy, you may add as per your choice.

This Fusion version is definitely a must try and loved by all Paneer lovers!

Ingredients :

  • 1 cup Macaroni
  • Boiling water, to cook the pasta
  • Salt, as required
  • A dash of Olive oil
  • 1 Garlic clove, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 3 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
  • 1/4 Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/4 piece of a large green Capsicum
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 cup Paneer cubes
  • Salt, as required 
  • 2 tsp Arrowroot powder
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese, optional

Instructions:

  1. In a pot, boil the macaroni with salt, and olive oil until al dente.
  2. In a small grinder jar, pulse tomato paste, spices like Onion powder, Kashmiri Chilli powder, turmeric powder, Cumin powder and chopped capsicum.
  3. In a large pan, pour the olive oil and the butter, add the sliced garlic and Sautee for a couple of seconds.
  4. To this, add the pulsed tomato-capsicum paste, a little pasta water, sprinkle oregano and add in the washed Paneer cubes an add salt as required.
  5. Once the Paneer comes to a boil, add the arrowroot powder/ flour, mix and pour the milk.
  6. Check seasoning and add salt if required. Add a generous amount of Mozzarella cheese, close lid and allow cheese to melt.
  7. Finally sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves. Enjoy!

Paneer Tikka Bread Discs





I love anything that has the base of butter chicken.. But of course, what stands out in Tikka masala is the addition of yogurt. Though Yougurt is usually added in the stage where the paneer is shallow fried, I prefer to shallow fry it just with salt and add the addition of yogurt in the tikka gravy.

You may use tomato paste instead of tomatoes to get even finer texture of the gravy. While experimenting this one, I had actually used tomato paste and the gravy turned super smooth and silky. The method I use here is fresh tomato, though the texture might have tiny bits ( the gravy can be strained using a strainer), you can have the gravy without any guilt as the tomatoes are not canned/in a container (which may contain additives to preserve them).

Paneer Tikka Bread Discs are prepared simply by preparing the gravy first, which should not be too thin. Next the bread discs are prepared by using cookie cutters of 2 sizes and then water is used to join both the bread discs. The bread sics are tasted with garlic butter and finally filed with the tikka gravy.

More Ramadan recipes coming your way. In Sha Allah.

Ingredients : (Makes 6 paneer tikka bread discs) 

  • 12 bread slices
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil 
  • 200 gms Paneer cubes
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Medium Onion, chopped coarsely
  • 1 Medium tomato, chopped / 3 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 green chili, optional
  • 8 Cashews
  • 2 tsp Red Chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • Salt, as required
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Fenugreek leaves
  • 2 tsp tomato ketchup
  • A dash of heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Cloves Garlic butter, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves
  • Coriander leaves for garnishing

Instructions:

  1. In a pan, pour the vegetable oil and add in your paneer cubes, season with salt. Shallow fry until light brown marks appear on the paneer.
  2. Next, in the same pan add in your butter and sauté your chopped onions, season with salt, this helps to cook the onions faster.
  3. Next add your cashews and tomatoes and cook cover for 5-10 minutes until mushy. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a hand blender, blend the onion-tomato-cashews to a smooth paste ( strain the gravy using a strainer if required).
  5. Next, into the same pan, add 1 tbsp Butter and add red chilli powder, saute for 5 seconds and immediately add in your gravy base to the sautéed chilli powder before the powder burns and Sautee well.
  6. Now add in your shallow fried paneer cubes, yogurt, Kasoori methi /dried Fenugreek leaves, tomato paste (optional)** , tomato ketchup and once everything comes to a boil, bring it to a sim and add the cream. * and switch off the flame. 
  7. Next, prepare garlic butter by mixing, butter, red chilli flakes, minced garlic clove, and Fenugreek leaves and salt in a small bowl, mix well and set aside. 
  8. Cut your 2 bread slices using a large round cutter and the second one using a cookie cutter just smaller than the large bread circle. 
  9. Remove the middle bread piece and layer the one with hole on top of the other bread circle by joining them using water and pressing the ends slightly. 
  10. Spread the prepared garlic butter, on both sides and toast them until crispy and fill in the Paneer Tikka masala and garnish with Coriander leaves and enjoy! 





Notes-

  • *Do not boil the gravy for too long, as the gravy may curdle due to the presence of yogurt.
  • **You may completely avoid fresh tomatoes for silkier gravy, use the 3 tbsp tomato paste in this case, if using fresh tomatoes, you may add 1 tbsp tomato paste too. 
  • These discs can be prepared in airfryer too. 
  • You may do the Charcoal burn flavor, by placing a piece of hot coal in olive oil/butter in a small dish/aluminum foil , and place the small dish inside the pan with gravy and close with the lid well immediately, so that the smoke within gets absorbed by the Paneer Tikka masala. I have skipped this step in the recipe.
