Tomato Dosai and a TAG!!!

This is something I learned from a magazine. Here is the recipe for making tomato dosa.

Ingredients:-

1. Boiled rice - 3/4 cup
2. Toor dhall - 3 tbsp
3. Red chillies - 3 (acc to taste)
4. Tomato - 2
5. Ginger - a small piece
6. Salt to taste
7. Coconut - 1tbsp
8. Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp
9. Sesame oil or ghee - 2 tsp (for one dosai)
   

Soak Rice and dhall for an hour adding red chillies to it. After an hour, drain it, add tomato, ginger, salt, coconut and grind it into a fine batter. This batter should be like dosa batter. When you are ready to make dosa, just heat the skillet, pour a laddle full of batter and make it a circle. pour 1 tsp of oil or ghee on the edges and let it cook in a medium flame. When its cooked, flip it over and pour the remaining oil or ghee and let it cook. If you want more crispier, then let the dosa be in the skillet for another 2 mts under low flame. Enjoy this with chutney or sambar.
