Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Split green gram (moong dal)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse the moong dal in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in enough water for at least 1 to 2 hours.
Drain the soaked moong dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend to a smooth batter, resembling the consistency of traditional dosa batter.
Add coconut flour, salt, cumin seeds, and turmeric powder to the batter. Mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
Adjust the batter consistency by adding an additional 0.5 cup of water if the batter is too thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or traditional dosa tawa over medium heat. Brush the surface lightly with ghee or coconut oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a little ghee or coconut oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the surface appears slightly golden.
Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve these Paleo Moong Dal Dosas hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly chutney or dip.
