Tomato Dosa – If you are bored of the traditional Dosa, you shall definitely give it a try to this tangy twist to the normal dosa. This dosa is vegan and gluten free.

It is an instant dosa but there is soaking process of 2 -3 hours involved. You can enjoy this dosa with any of your favorite chutney or podi.
