Coriander-roasted dal chutney
I made a simple chutney to go with this dosa.Usually coconut is added to roasted dal chutney but I added a small tomato.
Fry a small tomato with one green chilli and a pinch of hing.Grind coarsely along with 2 table spoons of roasted dal and 1 cup of chopped cilantro leaves.Adjust salt and temper with mustard,urad dal,curry leaves and one dried red chilli.
Time:30 minutes(soaking not included)
Yield:15-20 dosas
Notes:
1.These dosas can also be made crispy by making the batter a bit more thin,and cooking for few more minutes
2.Vegetables like finely chopped onions,carrots can be added after spreading the dosa in the tava
