Answer to Dosa Dilema
The answer to Michael's observation that dosas can't be whipped up in a hurry is here. http://vahrehvah.com/Rava+Dosa+Quick+version:3281 Semolina dosas without the soaking and fermenting. The key is to have potatoes cooked up and in the fridge. If you want rice/dal dosas, just keep the batter on the counter or fridge at all times. You can always have a batch brewing and make dosas any time.
I also have been throwing together a quick stir fry of tofu and veggies with an almond meal sauce at breakfast time to eat with my dosas. Here is a picture and a recipe.
Lisa's tofu almond veggie
Amounts are up to you.
Extra Firm tofu, cut into cubes
veggies of your choice (zucchini, spinach, eggplant, carrots) cubed
Ginger, cut into matchsticks
Red pepper flakes
garam masala powder
water
almond meal
Heat oil in a saute pan, saute the ginger and red pepper for a minute. Put in tofu and toss and stir fry until slightly golden. Throw in the veggies and stir fry until tender. add garam masala and cook for a minute. Add some water (you want to make a little bit of a sauce) so maybe a half cup of water and deglaze your pan a bit. then stir in about two table spoons of almond meal and simmer lightly until the sauce is thick. That's it.
Eat it with rice or dosas or chapati.
