  2. 2.Mix the grated paneer with the onion, tomato, coriander and a pinch of salt for the filling.
  3. 3.Heat a non-stick tawa, brush with a little oil and spread half the batter into a thin round.
  4. 4.Cook on medium heat until the edges lift, flip, sprinkle half the paneer filling and fold.
  5. 5.Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve hot with the mint hung curd.

Coach’s note

Masoor dal soaks fast, so 2 hours is enough. Make the batter at night, keep it in the fridge, and breakfast takes 10 minutes. It keeps for 2 days.
