Cuisine:
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup Dosai Batter
-
2 Tomatoes
-
1/4 tsp Chilli powder
-
1/4 tsp Asafoetida
-
a pinch Salt
-
to make dosai Oil
Directions
Have you heard of a tamizh household where there is no stock of dosai maavu on any particular day? My home is one of those typical households, where you will definitely find dosai batter in the fridge if not for vegetables. No…I am joking. You will find both:) Thakkali dosai or tomato dosai is one of the avatars of the regular dosai.
Thakkali Dosai
Tomato dosai is a naturally red coloured dosai and is a makeover which you can give to the stored batter. The colour and the change in flavour does entice people to look forward for it.I have added tomatoes, chillipowder and asafoetida to it. Make sure the basic dosai batter is not runny as the addition of the tomatoes might make it runny. Serve it with some coconut chutney and this is perfect for both breafast and dinner. I am sure you will love the little tangy red coloured thakkali dosai .
You can check out the other Tomato dosai here which is prepared in a slight different manner.
The measurement and preparation for dosai batter can be seen here.
Both idli and dosai are prepared with the same basic batter.

Love the colour of the dosa…so beautiful and inviting. Yum
We love Tomato Dosa and Amma has a separate measurement for the same..its been such a long time since we made it…must plan for it soon..your dosas surely are sinful!
I love tomato dosa. it gives nice color and flavor to dosa. Looks great
Another variation to the spicy tomato dosa. I am sure my little one will Love the simple flavored dosa.
I am still a novice in making regular dosa and this new avatar of tomato dosa looks to tasty to try.
Love that color and I bet its a great dosa for all the spice lovers and no need for any side.
Even i posted tomato dosa this recipe… Lovely to see your version too..
This is a great idea to dress up the boring left over batter. i usually grind batter separately for tomato dosai. Will try this for kids lunch box next time.
Seriously i love tomato dosas very much and its been a while i made them, how pretty those dosas looks, especially that bright colour.
I knew only of tomato omelette this is new to me. Needless to say, will be made especially as I have given up storing dosa atta.
