Extra Notes
- You could alter this recipe and add more rice if experiences gas from the recipe or not add any rice at all.
- Could use yellow moong instead of whole (doesn't need to be soaked overnight 1-2 hours is best).
Instructions
- Soak moong dhal and rice overnight.
- Once moong has soaked overnight, rinse both moong and rice until the water becomes clear. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Heat a dosa pan or flat fry pan and grease with a little ghee and wipe it smoothly over the pan. Pour about a ladle full of dosa mix into the centre of the pan. Using the back of your ladle, gently spread the batter with a circular motion from the centre towards the sides of the pan. Since we are not making very crispy dosas, don't spread them too thin. The dosa should be more or less evenly thick around 3-4mm.
- Once the dosa starts to slightly bubble and you notice the dosa is half cooked which should take a few minutes, flip it over and cook the other side for the same time.
- Serve the dosa with any condiment: coconut chutney, avocado, coriander, spinach or anything that takes your fancy. You can eat dosa with pretty much anything! It's like a savoury crepe.
