Ingredients
Dosa batter – one big bowl (approx 500 grams)
Big Onion – 1
Tomato – 2 to 3
Pepper – 1 teaspoon or as required
Salt – 1/4 teaspoon or as required
Oil – as required
Directions
- Start by slicing the tomato into thin pieces. Next, crush some pepper into a coarse powder, mix in a little salt, and set this mixture aside.
- Finely chop the onion and incorporate it into the dosa batter, ensuring it’s evenly mixed.
- Preheat your dosa pan and lightly grease it with oil.
- Pour a generous ladle of the batter onto the pan, spreading it slightly. Aim for a thickness that’s a bit more substantial than a regular dosa.
- Gently place 4 to 5 tomato slices on top of the batter. Sprinkle the prepared pepper and salt mixture over the tomatoes for added flavor.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges of the dosa. Allow it to cook on one side, then carefully flip it over to cook the other side as well.
- Once both sides are cooked to your liking, your tomato dosa is ready to be served hot and enjoyed.
