- 1/2 Cup Green Gram/Whole Moong Dal
- 2 tbsp Par boiled rice/Pulungal arisi
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 3 Green chilies
- 1 handful Baby Spinach or bigger one
- salt to taste
- oil to drizzle on dosa
- Wash the green gram and rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak them in enough water for about 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Drain the water from the soaked green gram and rice. Transfer them to a mixer jar. Add cumin seeds, green chili, ginger, baby spinach, and salt to taste.
- Add enough water and grind it to a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thicker than regular dosa batter.
- Once the batter is ready, transfer it to a bowl.
- Heat a dosa tawa or a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Once the tawa is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the tawa. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
- Drizzle some oil or ghee on the dosa. Cook the dosa on medium heat until the edges turn golden brown and crisp.
- Flip the dosa and cook the other side for a minute or two. Drizzle some oil on this side too. Ensure both sides are cooked evenly.
- Remove the dosa from the tawa and serve hot with your choice of chutney or sambar. I served it with Kadamba chutney and coconut chutney.
You can try these different options to add some variety to your green gram dosa.
- For a mixed vegetable option, finely chop carrots, capsicum, and onions and add them to the batter for added color, texture, and nutrition.
- If you want something with a bit more flavor, prepare a spiced potato filling by sautéing boiled and mashed potatoes with onions, green chilies, turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Spread this filling onto the dosa before flipping it over.
- Try sprinkling grated cheese over the dosa before flipping it if you want something indulgent. Let the cheese melt and cook both sides until crispy.
- Finally, for a twist of flavor, add finely chopped herbs like mint, coriander, and curry leaves to the batter and incorporate cumin, black pepper, or red chili powder for an extra kick.
Delicious and healthy green gram dosa is ready to relish.
