Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow moong dal
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 whole green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Rinse the yellow moong dal under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the dal in enough water to cover it for 2 hours.
Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 0.5 cup water, ginger, green chili, and cumin seeds.
Blend the mixture until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be of pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter. Add salt and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and quickly spread it outwards in circular motions to form a thin dosa.
Cook the dosa on medium heat until the edges begin to lift and the underside is golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Flip the dosa and cook the other side for another minute until slightly golden.
Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
