Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 16 Dosas
Ingredients
  • Whole Moong bean- 2 cups
  • Urad Dal- 1 cup (black gram without the skin)
  • Water- enough to make a smooth batter
  • Salt- 1 tsp
Instructions
  1. This recipe will yield around 16 large dosas, for making 8 dosas- half the recipe: 1 cup moong bean & ½ cup urad dal.
Soaking:
  1. Rinse 2 cups of whole moong bean and 1 cup of urad dal thoroughly in water.
  2. Soak them together in enough water for about 4 hours or overnight. This helps in softening the dals, making them easier to blend.
Blending:
  1. Drain the soaked dals and transfer them to a blender.
  2. Add a little water gradually and blend to a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to that of traditional dosa batter, neither too thick nor too runny.
Fermentation (Optional but recommended):
  1. Pour the batter into a large bowl, cover it, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Fermentation enhances the flavor and nutritional value of the dosa.
  3. If you live in a warm tropical place, fermentation will happen faster, only requires 2 hours of fermentation.
Cooking:
  1. Once fermented, give the batter a good stir. If it's too thick, add a little water to adjust the consistency.
  2. Add 1 tsp salt, combine well.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan or a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan and spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
  5. Drizzle a few drops of ghee around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip and cook the other side for a minute.
  7. The dosa will turn super crispy.
Serving:
  1. Serve hot with a side of coconut chutney or sambar. For a diabetic-friendly meal, pair it with a vegetable-based side dish.
  2. Absolutely delicious, healthy & comforting meal for breakfast.
