TOMATO DOSA


Tomato dosa is my all time favorite right from my childhood days. This is my moms recipe with very few ingredients and very simple procedure with less preperation time. The flavor of the tomatos will flavours your mouth and melts like anything.  There are various procedures to do this tomato dosa. Still I feel this recipe tastes good as there are no other spices to add, as they will dominate the flavor of tomato.

Ingredients:

1. Raw rice - 1 cup
2. Tomatoes - 3 medium size
3. Red chillies - 5-6
4. Salt - as required
5. Asfotedia  powder - 1 pinch

Seasoning:

1. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
2. Jeera - 1 tsp
3. Channa dhal - 2 tso
4. Curry leaves - 1 twig

Method:

1. Soak raw rice in water for a minimun of 1 hr.

2. Add chopped tomatoes, red chillies, salt, asfotedia powder and the soaked raw rice to a blender and grind it to a fine batter. The consistency of the batter should be little bit watery compare to dosa batter.

3. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, jeera, channa dhal and curry leaves. Once they get popped pour the seasoning to the dosa batter. Mix it well.

4. Heat a dosa pan, once it get heated pour the dosa batter in a circular motion. Pour the dosa very thin.

5. Once it get cooked well, flip it to the other side and cook it for 1 more minute.

6. Serve this  hot colourful dosa with jaggery or any chutney you prefer.
