Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow moong dal
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 whole green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cooking spray or oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the yellow moong dal under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the dal in enough water to cover it for 2 hours.
Step 2
Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 0.5 cup water, ginger, green chili, and cumin seeds.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be of pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter. Add salt and mix well.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Step 5
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and quickly spread it outwards in circular motions to form a thin dosa.
Step 6
Cook the dosa on medium heat until the edges begin to lift and the underside is golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the dosa and cook the other side for another minute until slightly golden.
Step 8
Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary.
Step 9
Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
