Tomato Dosa is very easy to make.There is no need for fermentation for this dosa batter.The slight tangy taste from the tomatoes and the color of the dosas are quite an appeal to taste buds.

Method:

Soak rice and urad dal along with dry red chillies for 2 hours.
Then grind it with chopped tomatoes adding aafoetida and required amount of salt into a smooth batter.No water should be added.After 4 hours,dosa can be made.

Now add the moongdal stock,salt and turmeric powder and allow it to boil.When it starts boiling,add the ground paste.Let it boil for another 2 minutes till the raw smell of the paste goes off.
