Heat a tawa on a medium flame.  When the tawa becomes hot, pour a ladle of tomato dosa  batter to the tawa and spread the dosa to a medium circle by spreading the batter evenly. Put 1 tsp of oil on the top and around the dosa and cook for a minute on a medium flame. Once the dosa turns golden and crisp, flip on the other side and cook for half a minute.  Continue with the same method for the remaining batter.
