Tomato Dosa Recipe | Thakkali Dosai

I got this tomato dosa recipe from my friend Shalini…I tried last week and it came out very well. It was crispy , tasty and we liked it very much. This dosa can be prepared instantly after grinding the batter. Fermentation is not necessary. But I ground the batter 3 hours before making the dosa. This dosa comes out soft, not much crispy as you see in the above picture. I’ve gone through so many varieties of tomato dosa on net. Here comes my version of tomato dosa batter.
