Instant Tomato Rava Dosa without Maida and Atta (VEGAN)

a perfectly crisp Instant dosa having tomato flavors, without using wheat flour (atta) & all purpose flour (maida)

Dosa and its varieties :

Dosa is a thin, crispy crepe made with ground rice and lentils. This is a much popular breakfast / snack option from southern part of Indian subcontinent. Any Indian is surely familiar with the dosa which is either homemade or even get at the Indian restaurants. To make dosa, one just need the right type of lentils and rice and a blender to make the batter. The most important part about making dosa at home is fermenting the batter. One can get really creative with the kind of fillings in the dosa and accordingly the dosa varries as masala dosa, paper dosa, ragi dosa, shezwan dosa, neer dosa, pavbhaji dosa, onion dosa, oats dosa and lots more. Dosa is usually served with Sambar, a chutney like coconut chutney, onion chutney, tomato chutney etc. 

Apart from this, there is a category of making dosa in an Instant way, means there is no need of any fermentation. I have already shared few days back an Instant Rava Dosa. In this batter, I have used semolina along with rice flour and all purpose flour and here the batter is much thin as compared to traditional rice-based dosa batter which yields crisp and flaky dosa. One more Instant dosa is also there where I had given a twist of spinach and hence the name is Spinach Rava Dosa. This spinach rava dosa is a healthy one since made of wheat flour ( I have used atta /wheat flour instead of maida / APF) and the goodness of spinach. Also this is prepared with a stuffing of potato mixture.

Well today's post is similar to the above INSTANT dosa category but with a twist of Tomato this time. So the name of the dosa is Instant Tomato Rava Dosa. Interesting part here is this Instant dosa is prepared without using any all purpose flour or wheat flour.

How one can make this Tomato Rava Dosa ?

To get the tomato flavor in this dosa, first a smooth fine paste is prepared using some tomatoes, ginger, cumin seeds, green chilies. Into this paste semolina aka sooji / rava, rice flour, few chopped onions & coriander leaves, cumin seeds, chopped green chilies are added. Everything is mixed by adding water little by little to get a batter of running consistency (thinner than the regular dosa batter). Then the batter has to be poured on a hot pan or tawa from a certain height (3-4 inch height over the pan), not like spreading the batter as of the normal dosa batter. This pouring method helps in the netted texture of the dosa. Few oil drops are then drizzled on top of the dosa and allowed to cook over medium heat till it turns golden (no need to flip and cook the other side in this dosa). Voila !!! the crispy tomato dosa is ready to serve now.

💡FEW TIPS TO MAKE THIS TYPE OF DOSA PERFECTLY :

• The batter should be very thin as of running consistency for getting crispy dosa.
• Crispiness of dosa depends upon the consistency of the batter. So thinner the batter, crispier the dosa.
• Each time just before making the dosa, stir the batter very well in the mixing bowl and then only take ladle full of batter from it.
• The batter tends to get thick, so add water as well as salt to the batter for the needful consistency.
• The pan or tawa should be hot enough while pouring the batter over it.
• Prefer to use non-stick pan to make this rava dosa, so that no oil greasing is needed. But if you are using the cast iron tawa, then before pouring the batter first grease the tawa with oil well.
• Always cook this rava dosa over medium heat instead of high heat.
