This instant dosa can be given to babies of 10 months and above by omitting the red chilly powder in the batter. The main ingredients of this tomato dosa are rice and tomatoes.
In this recipe I have used dosa batter. You can also grind raw rice and then make dosas without worrying of soaking, grinding and fermenting of the batter.
Though this thakkali dosa can be eaten as such, it tastes even better with coconut chutney or sambar. My son enjoys it with sambar.
