Ingredients
- 1 cup Split green gram (moong dal)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the moong dal in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in enough water for at least 1 to 2 hours.
Step 2
Drain the soaked moong dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend to a smooth batter, resembling the consistency of traditional dosa batter.
Step 3
Add coconut flour, salt, cumin seeds, and turmeric powder to the batter. Mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 4
Adjust the batter consistency by adding an additional 0.5 cup of water if the batter is too thick.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or traditional dosa tawa over medium heat. Brush the surface lightly with ghee or coconut oil.
Step 6
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Step 7
Drizzle a little ghee or coconut oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the surface appears slightly golden.
Step 8
Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
Step 9
Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve these Paleo Moong Dal Dosas hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly chutney or dip.
