Fluffy Tomato dosa

This dosa is soft ,light and fluffy .."melt-in-your-mouth" dosa and there is no better way to describe it. The softness is amazing and the mild flavour with a hint of tomato and chilly is what makes you go back for more and more.Earlier i have tried one more version of this,a simple neer dosa with tomato and red chillies .But this time thought of trying something different !

Ingredients

• 2cups Dosa rice
• 4-5 Tomatoes,chopped
• 6-7 Dried Kashmiri Red chilly (whole)
• 2 cups Butter milk
• 2tbsp Beaten rice/Poha
• Salt as per taste
• 1/2tsp Cooking Soda /baking soda

Cooking Directions

1. Wash rice and beaten rice separately,under running water.
2. Soak both together with 2 cups of butter milk for one hour ( you can add little water if needed)
3. Now grind soaked rice along with chopped tomatoes and chillies to smooth batter. Grind, adding a little Water at a time.
4. Once the batter is ground fine, transfer to a bowl and add additional Water. Total 3 cups ( approximately) of Water.
5. Add Salt and soda ,mix well.
6. Heat a flat non-stick pan or griddle on low-medium heat.
7. Once hot, drop a few drops of Oil on the skillet .Drop a ladle full of batter and do not spread it,let it spread it by it self.
8. Drop a few drops of Oil around the edges of the dosa, cover and allow to cook for a couple of minutes.
9. Remove lid, with a flat spatula, loosen the edges and transfer to a plate.
10. Serve hot with Chutney, Sambar or plain butter

Tips:

1. adding less Water in the beginning, helps grind better.
2. It is a very delicate dosa and does need careful handling.
