Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Moong dal (split green gram)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Start by rinsing the moong dal thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear. Then, soak the moong dal in enough water for at least 2-4 hours. This helps soften the dal and makes it easier to blend.
After soaking, drain the water from the moong dal. In a blender, add the soaked moong dal along with 1.5 cups of fresh water, ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, and salt. Blend to form a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and add the rice flour. Mix well until the rice flour is fully incorporated into the batter. The consistency should be slightly thick but pourable, similar to traditional pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, spread a small amount (few drops) of olive oil evenly over the surface using a paper towel.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and quickly spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the dosa and cook until the edges start to lift and turn golden brown. Flip the dosa to cook the other side for an additional minute.
Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve hot with your choice of chutney or sambar for a delicious and heart-healthy meal.
