Ingredients

To Grind (1 cup = 240ml)

  • 3 Tomato ( Use 4 for more tangy taste)

  • 1 Big onion (finely chopped )
  • Curry leaves Few (finely chopped)

  • Fold and remove the dosa in a plate. Serve hot with coconut chutney. Enjoy !!

Notes

  • Make the batter thin and watery to make the dosa crispy else dosa looks thick and hard. Also mix the batter everytime before making the dosa because rava may settle down. 
  • Add more tomatoes and red chillies if you like more tangy and spicy dosa.
  • You can also use green chillies instead of red chillies but color of dosa won’t be bright red.
