Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.25 cup Split yellow moong dal (soaked for 2 hours and drained)
- 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt (optional, can be skipped for a vegan version)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Finely chopped green chilies (optional)
- 0.25 cup Finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons Finely chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the soaked and drained moong dal, whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, yogurt (if using), water, and salt.
Blend until you get a smooth, slightly thin batter. The consistency should be pourable but not too runny. Add more water if needed.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and stir in the ground cumin, green chilies (if using), chopped onion, and chopped cilantro.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil using a paper towel or brush.
Once the skillet is hot, pour a ladleful of batter in the center and quickly spread it in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa and let it cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly as needed between dosas.
Serve hot with chutney, sambar, or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious and protein-packed meal.
