Crispy, lightly spiced Green Moong Dal Dosa are healthy crepes made from green mung beans or green gram, spices and herbs. These are delicious to serve for breakfast or snack or brunch with sweet and spicy chutneys.

These dosa aren’t just good tasting and good for you as well! Because they are made with hearty green. While it does take some advanced planning to make this dish from scratch, there is still little hands-on effort actually required.

The lentils and rice need to soak for 6 to 8 hours before you blend them, but then the batter can be used right away with no fermenting needed.

Total Time 8hr 25mins

Servings 10 dosas

INGREDIENTS

  • Green Moong Dal- 1 cup
  • Garlic- 1 -2 cloves
  • Cumin- 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ginger- small piece
  • Salt- as req
  • Water- 1 to 1 1/4 cup
  • Chilly- 1 optional
  • Rice Powder- 1 tablespoon optional

COOKING STEPS

  1. Wash whole moong beans 2-3 times in running water and soak around 6-8 hours. ( Normally I have soaked at night and use in the morning)

2. Drain excess water from soaked whole moong beans. Transfer them in to mixer grinder jar and add green cumin, ginger and garlic.

3. Grind all ingredients together in a grinder or blender until semi-thick and little coarse texture (like dosa batter). Add water (approx. 1 cup to 1 1/4 cup) as needed while grinding to get the desired texture. Amount of water required depends on the quality of moong beans, so add it little by little and as needed to get the desired texture. Make sure that batter is not very thin.

4. Add the salt as your taste and mix the batter well. The batter consistency should be similar to a regular Dosa Batter. ( Don’t need to ferment )

5. Heat the dosa pan, Ladle some batter into the pan in the middle. Use your ladle to rotate in a circular motion of the batter adhere to all over the sides of the pan. If the top surface looks raw, Sprinkle 1/2-teaspoon oil around edges of dosa. Cook until it turns light golden brown and crispy, for approx. 2-minutes.

6. Slowly flip it over another side and Cook well 2-3 minutes. Repeat the steps with the remaining batter to make all of the moong dal dosas. Stir and mix the batter well before making each dosa. Hot dosa is now ready for serving.

Veg side dishes:  coconut chutney, Peanut Chutney and tiffin sambar
