Tomato Dosa is a slight variation to the usual dosa that we prepare. This is a good option to make your kid benefited with the goodness of tomatoes along with the rice that we use for making dosas. My mom usually prepares instant dosa using wheat flour, gram flour, all purpose flour and joward flour by adding chopped veggies to it. For this I usually add chopped tomatoes/ grind the tomatoes and then add the juice to the usual dosa batter.
