Tangy Tomato Dosa

In a land where there is no Urad dhal, this dosa comes in handy. Not that we are surviving without urad dhal at all. We managed to bring a kilo or 2 during our last home trip and i'm just being a little thrifty in using since we have couple of months to go before we return. I found this recipe on a friend's blog and altered it a little.

The below quantity of ingredients make 15 dosas of 6 inch diameter each.

1 & 1/2 cup rice

1/4 cup urad dhal

1/4 cup red lentils

2 tsp fenugreek seeds

Wash them well and soak them separately for 2-3 hours.

1 long green chilli

1 inch tamarind or 1 tsp of tamarind juice

2 tsp salt

2 small tomatoes

Grind the above with the well soaked rice and lentils and fenugreek to the usual batter consistency.

One would easily mistake the batter to thick strawberry milk shake;). Heat a pan, pour the batter one ladle at a time - use butter or ghee or oil of your choice around the dosa. Best had with chutney or sambhar, but we had an appetite for milagai podi and the little one enjoyed his tangy tomato dosa by dipping it in yogurt.
