Are you bored of traditional dosa? Do you want to have a tangy twist to the normal dosa?  Then why dont you try out this yummy tomato dosa.  The tomato dosa is so scrumptious that you will start preferring this dosa than the normal dosa.  Tomato dosa is a healthy dosa as it has less calories than the normal dosa.

The fermentation of batter is not required, the tanginess of the tomato itself is enough for the batter.  It is a kind of instant dosa though there is a soaking process of 2 to 3 hours involved.

Idli and dosa are normal South Indian breakfast items.  Some times they are made for dinner also.  So normally we have a stock of idli dosa batter in the refrigerator.  But making the same dish every day or on regular basis is a bit boring and there are times when we forget to grind the batter.  In such cases, this instant no ferment dosa ( Tomato Dosa ) comes to rescue.  Let us now see how to make the tomato dosa... 

Ingredients required :

• Raw rice -  1 1/4 cup  
• Tur dal -  2 tbsp
• Both above items soaked in water for 2 to 3 hours
• Chopped tomatoes -  2 to 3
• Grated fresh coconnt ( optional ) --  2 tbsp
• Dried red chillies, de-seed and tear -  2 to 3
• Grated jaggery -  1 to 2 tbsp
• Chopped coriander leaves -  1 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• Oil as required

Method of making Tomato Dosa :

• First drain and grind smoothly the rice and tur dal with chopped tomatoes, dried red chillies, grated fresh coconut, jaggery, coriander leaves, salt and little water to form a dosa-like batter
• Heat griddle on a high flame till hot, reduce heat, pour a laddle full of dosa batter, spread the batter with the bottom of the ladle evenly making circles to form a dosa shape and drizzle with some oil along the edges
• Cook on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes and increase to high flame for a few seconds and flip the dosa on the other side and cook for 20 seconds or till done.

Now the hot tomato dosa is ready. It can be served with any Podi like Chinta Chiguru Podi,  or Karivepaku Podi,  or Kobbari Podi.  The Tomato dosa can also be served with any chutney like Coconut chutney,.
