Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Moong Dal (split mung beans)
- 0.25 cup Rice
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 pieces Green Chilies
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the moong dal and rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Soak the moong dal and rice together in a bowl with enough water to cover them for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
After soaking, drain the water and transfer the dal and rice to a blender.
Add the ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and 1.5 cups of water to the blender.
Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth batter. It should be thick yet pourable. Add more water if required.
Transfer the batter to a large bowl. Add salt and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with a few drops of vegetable oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet.
Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion from the center outward, to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and on top of the dosa.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges start to lift.
Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make more dosas.
Serve the hot moong dal dosas with chutney or sambar of your choice.
