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.
Ingredients
1 cup – 250ml
- Raw rice – 1 cup
- Tomato – 4 nos (small)
- Red chilli – 5-7 nos (adjust to our taste)
- Hing/Asafetida – 1/4 tsp
- Salt & water – as needed
To Temper:
- Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
- Curry leaves – a sprig
- Oil – 1 tsp
Method:
- Wash and soak the rice for 2 hours.
- Grind the tomato, red chilly, hing along with salt to make a puree.
- Then add the rice and grind it like a dosa batter.
- The batter should be loose and slightly watery..So add the water accordingly..
- Heat a kadai with oil and temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves.
- Add to the batter and mix well.Check for salt..
- Now heat a dosa tawa greased with oil and pour the batter in a circular manner from outwards to inwards..
- Pour little oil around the dosa if desired..
- Serve hot with coconut chutney!!
COCONUT CHUTNEY
Ingredients
To Grind:
- Grated coconut – 1/2 cup
- Green chilly – 2-3 nos
- Ginger – A small piece
- Salt & water – as needed.
To temper:
- Mustard – 1/4 tsp
- Urad dal – 1/4 tsp
- Curry leaves – few
- Oil – 1 tsp
Method :
- Grind all the items given under to grind to make a smooth paste and temper it..
Note : This dosa can be prepared instantly..No need for the batter to ferment..But I made the batter 3 hours before preparing dosa

I love the pinkish tinge to the dosa and the coconut chutney sounds wonderful. Thank you for the additional information about tomatoes – I particularly like the one about mixing sugar and cloves in tomato juice to cure 'avarice'!

HI CHITRA,
I LOVE UR RECIPES….TRIED UR SUPER SOFT IDLI BATTER IN MIXIE AND IT CAME OUT REALLY WELL AFTER MY TRIALS FOR 10YRS FROM MANY SITES….PLEASE TELL ME FOR TOMATO DOSA U HAVE MENTIONED RAW RICE…CAN I USE IDLI RICE OR NORMAL SURTI KOLAM RICE INSTEAD OF RAW RICE..;..PLS REPLY SOON…URGENT…..THANKS
Thank u so much Divya for ur feedback. I am so glad u like it.. For this dosa , I used Good quality raw rice which we use for making pongal Or Dosa rice would do..But i have not used idli rice or maavu arisi.. I think if u use idli rice or maavu arisi , the dosa may be little hard and looks dry. Please try with goood quality raw rice for the above result..Please leave ur feedback if u try 🙂 Thanks .
