Tomato Dosa/Thakkali dosai

Today's recipe is an instant version of dosa which doesn't need any fermentation which is a good option for breakfast or dinner.
This dosa can be made with both raw rice and idly rice but today I used the raw rice and flattened rice(poha).
Addition of tomatoes give a nice color and tanginess and the poha gives a soft crisp texture to the dosa.This dosa can be eaten as such but coconut chutney is the perfect combo and gives an added taste.Now off to the recipe..............
