Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow moong dal
- 0.5 cup Raw rice
- 2 tablespoons Split urad dal
- 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the yellow moong dal, raw rice, and split urad dal under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
In a large bowl, soak the combined dals and rice with fenugreek seeds in ample water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3
Drain the water from the soaked ingredients and transfer to a blender.
Step 4
Add 1.5 cups of water gradually while blending to form a smooth and thick batter.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to a bowl and mix in salt. Cover and allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for about 8 hours or overnight. The batter should slightly increase in volume after fermentation.
Step 6
Stir in the cumin seeds, chopped green chili, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves into the fermented batter.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Lightly grease with oil using a small piece of cloth or paper towel.
Step 8
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the center of the skillet and gently spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Step 9
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and on top of the dosa. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 10
Flip the dosa carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Step 11
Remove from the skillet and serve hot. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the dosas with chutney or sambar of your choice.
