Moong Dal dosa, a protein rich dosa/crepe made with split yellow moong, rice along with green chili, ginger, cumin and salt. This delicious protein rich dosa is almost an instant dosa except for the soaking of dal for 2 hours. We don’t need fermentation for this dosa batter. Once we prepare the batter, we can immediately start making dosas. This dosa has a rich flavor of lentils and the ginger-greenehili-cumin adds more flavor to the batter.

We can make moong dal dosa as plain dosa or we can make it masala dosa or podi dosa too. Relish with coconut chutney or tiffin sambar or tomato chutney.

Tips for making Moong Dal Dosa Recipe:

  • Soak moong dal for 1-2 hours. Soaking for more time makes the dosa very soft. So maximum 2 hours is enough.
  • Ratio of rice to dal is 1:4. (1/4 cup of Rice : 1 cup of Dal). Rice is optional, but I would recommend to add as this will give crispy finish to the Dosa.
  • Grind moong dal to smooth batter. We need semi-thick batter but with pourable and spreadable consistency. Hence make sure that you don’t add too much of water while grinding. Add water little by little and adjust the consistency.
  • Before pouring batter in tawa, make sure the tawa is hot by sprinkling water. Once the tawa is hot reduce the flame to low and cook the dosa in low flame till it is crispy.
  • Once you pour the batter, spread the batter to a thin dosa with back of ladle or with any bowl with flat bottom.
  • Add a teaspoon of ghee on top of the Dosa for a good flavor. If you don’t have ghee / avoid ghee then you can very much add cooking oil as well.
  • We can top up the dosa with idli podi, chopped coriander leaves, chopped onions, grated carrot etc.
