Tomato Dosa/Instant Dosa/Easy Dosa Recipe/Breakfast recipes

            My hubby and my kid love dosa. I try to hide the  ingredients that they don't like in the dosa and the dosas will be devoured in an instant. My hubby likes specific sourness like tamarind, lemon but is not a fan of tomatoes. One time I made tomato kulambhu he didn't like it.
  I wanted to try this tomato dosa for sometime, but was little skeptical how he will respond. To my surprise he liked the dosa very much. More over  this dosa requires not much fermentation .Dosas like this are  good if you forget to get your rice dosa batter out for fermentation or you don't have enough batter left for an unexpected guest.
 In a jiffy you can prepare this for them and they would be surprised !how fast you are?  how good and different the dosa taste?

Tomatillos sauce/Verde sauce/Enchilada sauce

This is called tomatillo sauce because its made of tomatillo aka mexican tomatoes ..The tomatillos are usually covered with inedible paper like husk,that has to be removed while cooking. When tomatillos are  harvested ripen they are a little sweet compared to regular tomatillos and  used in jams.

           This sauce also called verde sauce because "verde" in spanish means "green". Mexican tomatoes have a lot of seeds which you can see in the sauce. This sauce usually is tangy but not very hot. You can add heat by adding jalapeneo pepper which is  a mexican pepper and little ting of garlic. These are the key ingredients which makes this wonderful sauce.Usually sauce is used for enchiladas and can be used as a dip as well .

             There are many variations to this sauce available ,this is my version and we like it a lot .I usually try to do little difference to our dinners with the ingredients available at hand .So feel free to add ur variations and dont forget to write to me .You can use this sauce for pizzas as well instead of regular tomato sauce.

Tomato Pulav -Thakkali satham

All of us love the convenience of a one pot meal for a week day dinner. This is a one pot meal which can be done in no time. My mom used to make tomato masala rice for lunch during our school days. We used to leave out the tomatoes and just eat the rice. To make us eat the tomatoes she used to grind them and use the ground paste to prepare the masala.

This recipe is from my mother in law. She makes a killer tomato Pulav by using tomato puree and coconut. My hubby and my daughter love this dish a lot. This is an easy way to get kids to eat tomatoes. Trust me they will love it.
