Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Moong dal (split green gram)
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Rinse the moong dal thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Soak the moong dal in enough water for about 2 hours. This helps soften the dal for easier blending.
After soaking, drain the water and transfer the moong dal to a blender.
Add the ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, and salt to the blender.
Add 200 ml of water to the blender and blend until you achieve a smooth, batter-like consistency. The batter should be similar to pancake batter.
Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl and add rice flour. Stir well to combine and remove any lumps.
Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding the remaining 50 ml of water if necessary. The batter should be smooth and pourable.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a teaspoon of oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the heated pan and spread it evenly in a circular motion to form a dosa.
Drizzle a little more oil around the edges for a crisp finish.
Cook the dosa on medium heat until the edges start to lift and the surface is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Serve the moong dal dosa hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
