Ingredients
For the Batter
- 1 cup Mung Bean whole yellow moong dal (split yellow pigeon peas), yellow
- 1/2 cup Rice Flour
- 1 cup Water approximately, add more as needed for desired consistency
For the Topping
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Oil for cooking, use your preferred cooking oil
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.
