With everyone working from home during lockdown and kids at home too, there are always requests for new dishes. We spend hours planning what to cook each day. This is a quick-fix dish—you don’t need to go out to buy lasagna noodles. I made this lasagna using ingredients easily available at home. It’s healthy and everyone will love it.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Add rice flour, chickpea flour, and whole wheat flour to a bowl. Mix in salt, carom seeds, chili powder, and turmeric powder.
2

Wash and grate the cucumber.
3

Add the grated cucumber and ginger-garlic paste to the flour mixture.
4

Add water to make a thick batter. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the consistency. Add water as needed to make a batter similar to that for uttapam.
5

Heat a skillet on the stove. Add 2 drops of oil and spread it with a paper napkin. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter and spread it out. Cook on both sides, just like making a dosa, cheela, or uttapam.
6

Make all the sheets this way. Shape the sheets to fit your baking pan.
7

Prepare all the other ingredients from the list. Also, have a 6-7 inch baking pan ready.
8

Spread tomato pulp on the bottom of the pan. Place one sheet on top. Sprinkle grated paneer and add cheese slices.
9

Repeat the layers: tomato pulp, sheet, paneer, then cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.

Cut into 6 pieces and enjoy hot homemade lasagna with your family.
