Crispy South Indian Breakfast Tomato Dosa

Tomato dosa

Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 cups rice, 
• 1/2 cup urad dal, 
• 2 medium size chopped tomatoes, 
• 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds, 
• 3-4 tablespoons oil, 
• salt..

To prepared a dosa, wash rice and dal changing water three to four times. Soak rice mix and fenugreek seeds in about 4 cups of water for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. 

After that in a blender, blend the rice,chopped tomatoes and dal mix to very creamy texture. Use only as little water as needed to blend. Using too much water for blending will not give the desired creamy texture. Use the same water dal was soaked to grind the batter as that helps in fermentation. 

Then Add the salt to batter, cover and ferment the batter in a warm place for about a day. Batter will be about one and half time in volume. 

When ready to make dosa whip the batter for few seconds. Add water as needed, batter should be pourable or like pancake consistency. Place a non-stick heavy skillet over medium heat. The water should sizzle right away. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter mixture into the skillet and spread evenly with the back of a spoon. 

Starting from the center, spiral outward until evenly spread, about eight inches in diameter thin circle. Smear about 2 teaspoons oil over it and along the edges and cook till the tomato dosa turns reddish in color and crisp. 

This point flip the tomato dosa using a flat spatula, for about 10 seconds. Tomato Dosa is ready, repeat with remaining batter. Every time wipe the skillet with wet towel that helps spreading the tomato dosa. Serve with sambar or chutney and Enjoy the crispy tomato dosa...
