I came to know this recipe from my friend Aarthi’s mom. I like her cooking very much and so sweet of her to share some of her recipes to me and tried my own. Usually I don't like the tomato flavor but when I tasted this tomato dosa I started liking it and really enjoyed the flavor too. It taste very soft and crispy in texture, me and my husband started liking it and added in our regular menu for dinner. Take this opportunity to thank the aunt for sharing such delicious recipes with beautiful tips.
