Tomato Uttapam

Ingredients:

2 cups of Dosa Batter
½ cup Tomato Puree
1 tbsp Cumin and Coriander powder
1 tsp Turmeric powder
Salt to taste

Method:
Mix all the above ingredients well. Grease a shallow pan with a little oil. Rubbing it with a cut potato prevents the dosa from sticking to the pan. Heat a non-stick Tawa. Take a ladle of batter and spread it on the tawa making a nice round dosa. Pour 1 tsp oil around the dosa so that th edge can be lifted up easily. Turn the dosa very lightly and apply some oil at the edges. Serve hot with chutney or Idli Chutney Powder (Malagapudi/ Idli Pudi).
