  5. Add another ½ tbsp of butter and grate remaining ½ cheese cube, mix well and cover and cook on a medium flame for another minute.
  6. Spread the stuffing evenly over the dosa, fold over while pressing it lightly using spatula to make a flat roll and cut into 4 equal pieces using the sharp edge of the spatula on the tava (griddle).
