Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow moong dal
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse the yellow moong dal thoroughly under running water. Soak it in a bowl with enough water to cover it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 1.5 cups of water and blend until you obtain a smooth batter. The batter should be of pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter.
Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl. Add salt, cumin seeds, ground turmeric, chopped green chili, and finely chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil using a brush or a paper towel.
Once the skillet is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter in the center. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward to form a thin layer.
Drizzle a few drops of coconut oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the base turns a light golden brown.
Flip the dosa using a spatula, and cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until both sides are cooked through and golden.
Serve hot with a side of coconut chutney or a Whole30-approved vegetable curry. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stirring the batter occasionally before making each dosa.
