Servings 8 Dosa
Ingredients
- 1 cup moong dal/whole green gram
- ½ cup rice
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 green chilies
- 1 medium sized onion chopped
- ½ inch ginger cube
- Oil for frying
- To taste salt
Instructions
- Wash and soak the moong and rice in water for 6 hours, preferably overnight. It is better to soak the moong dal and rice separately.
- After 6 hours, drain the water from the soaked green gram and rice. While draining the moong dal, rub it with fingers and discard some of the moong skin. If the moong skin remains then do not worry. It can be added to make the dosa.
- Grind the soaked moong, soaked rice along with green chilies, chopped onion, cumin seeds and ginger. Add 1/4 cup water if needed while grinding. The dosa batter should be coarse. Add salt to taste and mix well.
- Heat a non-stick tava and pour a ladle full of batter on the tava.
- Spread the batter on the tava in a circular way. After 5 minutes when the top of the dosa starts drying, spread 1 teaspoon oil on it and on the sides of the dosa.
- When the lower side of the dosa turns golden brown (this can be checked by slightly lifting the dosa on one side and checking), flip the dosa and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Notes
