5. Place 1 tsp of butter on the center and immediately add 1 tsp onion, 1 tsp cabbage, 1 tsp tomato, few slices of capsicum and green chillies.
6. Now add 1/2 tsp of soy sauce, little bit of chilli powder and 1/4 tsp garam masala powder.
7. Mash all the ingredients well with the help of pav bhaji or potato masher.

9. Mix well and spread little bit of oil from the edges of dosa.
10. Top with little bit of butter again and sprinkle few chopped leaves of coriander.

 Tips:

1. If you are using non-stick tawa then you don’t need to clean the tawa with the water before making dosa. The normal tawa requires drops of water to clean before going ahead, otherwise dosa stuck on it.
2. Try to take small portion of the batter and make small dosa’s, as they look attractive while serving.
3. For making jain paneer chilli dosa you just need to remove onion, also you try adding slices of carrot. Trust me the taste will be amazing.
