Ingredients

• 1 cup Moong Dal (split mung beans)
• 0.25 cup Rice
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 pieces Green Chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the moong dal and rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Soak the moong dal and rice together in a bowl with enough water to cover them for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

After soaking, drain the water and transfer the dal and rice to a blender.

Step 4

Add the ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and 1.5 cups of water to the blender.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth batter. It should be thick yet pourable. Add more water if required.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a large bowl. Add salt and mix well.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with a few drops of vegetable oil.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet.

Step 9

Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion from the center outward, to form a thin dosa.

Step 10

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and on top of the dosa.

Step 11

Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges start to lift.

Step 12

Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining batter to make more dosas.

Step 14

Serve the hot moong dal dosas with chutney or sambar of your choice.
