Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Moong Dal Split or whole
  • 2 tablespoon Rice flour Optional
  • 1 teaspoon Hing asafetida
  • 1 Green Chilli or more if you are into that
  • 1 inch Ginger cut into pieces
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Oil Gingely oil or ghee

Instructions

  • Soak the Moon Dal for 2-8 hours.
  • Discard the water.Add the soaked moong dal along with hing, green chilli, ginger and salt to the blender.
  • Grind it into a thick batter with adding ¼ Cup of water in 2 tablespoon increments.
  • Heat the griddle or tawa at a medium high heat.
  • Using a ladle, spread on a hot tawa. Add a few drops of oil. Flip and cook the other side.
  • Serve with chutneys or podis.

Notes

  • While grinding, add the water two tablespoons until you get a thick, foamy, spreadable consistency of the Pesarattu batter. The consistency is the same as regular dosa batter.
  • Make sure the tawa is hot before you start spreading the batter on it.
  • You can add chopped onions, coriander, and curry leaves to the batter or as a topping on the dosa, too.
