Ingredients

• 1 cup green moong dal (whole green gram)
• 2 tablespoons raw rice
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped
• 2 pieces green chilies, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups water
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the 1 cup of green moong dal and 2 tablespoons of raw rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak them together in enough water for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Drain the soaked moong dal and rice. Transfer them to a blender.

Step 3

Add 1-inch piece of roughly chopped fresh ginger, 2 chopped green chilies, and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the blender.

Step 4

Pour in 1.5 cups of water and blend everything to a smooth batter. The batter should have a slightly thick and spreadable consistency.

Step 5

Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt or adjust to taste.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or ghee using a kitchen towel or a cut onion.

Step 7

Once hot, pour a ladleful of the dosa batter in the center of the skillet and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges and on top of the dosa.

Step 8

Cook the dosa until the edges start to lift up and the underside turns golden brown. It should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully flip the dosa with a spatula and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until done.

Step 10

Remove the dosa from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or a side of sambar.
