Tomato Vegetarian Omelette

Tomato Vegetarian Omelette - An easy breakfast Dosa recipe which works wonders on the taste buds with the crispness, mild mish-mash of vegetables - Tomatoes and Onions with the occasional bits of Coriander leaves.

My mom made this Dosa for breakfast when we were kids and I was whole heartedly led to believe that I am eating an Omelette. Later, as I grew up I came to the understanding that this Dosa is indeed Eggless and is a Vegetarian Omelette. Hence the name, Tomato Vegetarian Omelette. The crunch with the subtle flavours of Tomatoes is what I like about this recipe. Kids in my family love this Dosa and its a nice way to pick on the fun element of the 'Vegetarian' concept of Omelette. Especially with the tiny tots, it is fun to create a surprise dish and ask them to spot the ingredients. This also enables to enhance the kids to improve their cognitive and thinking abilities. My nephew calls this Dosa 'Amoeba Dosa'. :) This recipe was a sure shot formula for my Mother to have the kids wake up early and be decked with the Plate, Fork and Spoon begging for their favorite Dosa. This recipe has fed mighty number of kids, cousins, nephews and nieces in my family and left many a tiny ones with loads of smiles and laughter.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mom's in the world!!
