“Chana Dal-Rice-Rava Onion-Tomato Omelette/Dosa spiced with chilly flakes” … I always prepare onion-tomato omelette with most of the leftover batters when they are little in quantity and not enough to prepare as it is ... here is a delicious dosa prepared with leftover batter of chana dal-rice dosa with addition of fine rava, spices, onion and tomato …
** Onion-Tomato Omelette is a dosa prepared by many usually using besan/ gram flour. I have somehow never prepared it that way. I always end up preparing this tasty dosa with most of the leftover batter of dosa which by themselves are not sufficient to prepared and served to all. In such times, I just add some besan, rava and other ingredients and prepare them into omelette and they really taste wonderful, even better than the ones prepared with besan. So do try this out the next time with any urad- rice left over batter, you can even prepare the same with leftover Idly batter easily. There are quite a few varieties posted in the blog before, do use the search option label on the left side and choose through the wide range of dishes and try that which you would love to relish with your family.
** Here is my simple method of preparing “Chana Dal-Rice-Rava Onion-Tomato Omelette/ Dosa spiced with chilly flakes” with leftover batter … My Style …
** I have used about 3 cups of the “Chana Dal-Rice Dosa spiced with Chilly Flakes” Batter to which I am adding the recipe link at the bottom of this recipe, you may prepare the dosa on day one followed by this particular dosa on day 2 and that way enjoy a 2 in 1 sort of breakfast dish for you family.
** To prepare the batter : In a bowl add about 3 cups of leftover batter, to this add about ½ cup of chiroti rava (fine rava) and about 3-4 tblsp besan (bengal gram flour/ chane peeta). Add a little bit of water, a little bit of salt, a large pinch of turmeric (haldi) powder and mix well to a very smooth consistency, there should be no lumps whatsoever.
** Peel off the skin of one large sized onion and chop it finely and keep it aside. Wash, wipe dry and chop 2 medium sized tomatoes and cut them also into small piece. You can cut green chillies finely and add on to, I had a shortage of the same, so opted out for chilly flakes instead. You may choose any you prefer to add on.
** To remove the dosa : Heat a non stick pan or iron tawa, till smoking point. The tawa should be really hot. Now lower the heat, add a tsp of oil and spread well. Now rub gently the tawa with a folded napkin or tissue paper (I use tissue) and spread the oil into a thin layer on the tawa. Excess oil gets absorbed by the paper. Do not rub the pan vigorously.
** Now pour a large ladleful of batter (say about half a cup) at the center of the tawa and spread nicely with the bottom round surface of the ladle/ spatula into a thick layered large circle clockwise evenly. Do not apply pressure while doing so, or else the dosa will get bubbled and not spread evenly.
** Garnish the top of the dosa with finely chopped onions, tomatoes and chilly flakes. You can add some finely chopped coriander leaves too. Press them a little bit with the spatula so that they sink slightly into the dosa. Now add on some oil drops all round the rim of the dosa and also on the top of the dosa. This helps evenly browning of the dosa well and turns crispy too.
** Raise the heat to medium and when the dosa has cooked and is crisply browned on the bottom side, gently remove the dosa with the help of a flat spatula and flip it over and press it down slightly with the help of the spatula to let fry on the top side specially the onions and the tomatoes. When crisply done flip it back and then place it on a serving plate to be served hot.
** “Chana Dal-Rice-Rava Onion-Tomato Omelette/Dosa spiced with chilly flakes” is done and ready to be served. Serve the dosas hot directly from tava along with some chutney, or any other side dish of your choice. I usually prefer having this simply with tomato ketchup as since the dosa is spiced well, it does not really need a chutney, but then it is personal preference.
** Try out this delicious healthy dosa and enjoy with your family and friends. You can add in ginger and green chillies while grinding like we normally do for dosas. However due to lock down nothing is available in my vicinity and my stock was also almost over. So I topped it with some red chilly flakes instead to add in some spice to the dosa.
