Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow moong dal (split yellow lentils)
• 2 tablespoons Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon, minced Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon or to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons (for greasing and frying) Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the yellow moong dal under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the dal in water for 2-3 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 2

Drain the soaked dal completely and transfer it to a blender. Add 0.5 cup of water and blend into a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should resemble pancake batter.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a mixing bowl. Add rice flour, finely chopped green chili, minced ginger, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well to combine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle on medium heat. Grease the surface lightly with a few drops of oil.

Step 5

Spoon a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it evenly in a circular motion to form a thin pancake (like a dosa or crepe).

Step 6

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the pancake. Cook it for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden spots appear.

Step 8

Remove the Yellow Mosa from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the Yellow Mosa hot with coconut chutney, green chutney, or plain yogurt.
