Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.25 cup Split yellow moong dal (soaked for 2 hours and drained)
• 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt (optional, can be skipped for a vegan version)
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Finely chopped green chilies (optional)
• 0.25 cup Finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons Finely chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the soaked and drained moong dal, whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, yogurt (if using), water, and salt.

Step 2

Blend until you get a smooth, slightly thin batter. The consistency should be pourable but not too runny. Add more water if needed.

Step 3

Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and stir in the ground cumin, green chilies (if using), chopped onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil using a paper towel or brush.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, pour a ladleful of batter in the center and quickly spread it in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to form a thin dosa.

Step 6

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa and let it cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Step 8

Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly as needed between dosas.

Step 9

Serve hot with chutney, sambar, or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious and protein-packed meal.
