There are times we are so short on time that we can't even grab a good breakfast in peace. And then there are days we are willing to push all our commitments aside for just one hearty breakfast. Cheese chilli dosa is recipe for those days. It demands undivided attention and a discerning diner. Dosa, as we all know, is a South Indian dish that has now become a global sensation of sorts. It is basically a thin crepe that is made with a rice or lentil batter or a combination of many other ingredients. The batter is typically fermented for hours, but nowadays you can also get instant batters to make your dosas.

But you can also use mozzarella, cheddar or any other type of cheese you want to make this delish dosa.
