Instructions
 

Prepare the Moong Dal

  • Soak the whole moong dal in water for at least 4-5 hours, or overnight.
  • Drain the soaked moong dal and blend it into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor.

Make the Batter

  • In a large bowl, combine the moong dal paste, rice flour, salt, and water. Mix well until you achieve a smooth, slightly thick batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Dosa

  • Heat a non-stick pan or dosa tawa over medium heat.
  • Lightly grease the pan with oil.
  • Pour 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pan, spreading it thinly into a small circle using the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Add Toppings and Cook

  • Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges of the dosa.
  • Sprinkle the chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves evenly over the dosa.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the dosa carefully using a spatula.

Serve

  • Serve the hot Whole Moong Dal Dosa immediately with your favorite chutney or sambar.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Dosa

  • For extra crispy dosas, use a well-seasoned cast iron pan.
  • Adjust the amount of water in the batter to achieve your desired consistency. A slightly thicker batter will yield crispier dosas.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the dosas in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  • Experiment with different toppings! Try adding grated carrots, shredded coconut, or other vegetables to customize your dosas.
