Ingredients

2 Cups Yellow Moong Dal/Pesara Pappu
1-2 Green Chillies
Salt to Taste
1 Tspn Cumin Seeds(Jeera)
Water as needed
Oil as needed

Directions

• In a bowl add yellow moong dal & wash under running water. Soak it in enough water for one hour & drain.
• Add soaked yellow moong dal, green chillies, salt to a mixer jar.

• Grind them into a smooth paste by adding water as needed to obtain a medium thick batter consistency (batter shouldn’t be too thick or too runny). Add cumin seeds & mix everything well.

• Heat tava/nonstick skillet on a medium flame, apply 1/4 teaspoon oil on the tava & spread it evenly with a spatula. Pour a ladle full of batter on it & spread it in a circular motion using backside of a ladle. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon oil around the edges (you can also sprinkle few chopped onions, cilantro leaves in this step).

• Cook till the base is golden & crisp or until edges start browning a bit, pass the spatula under it to ease the dosa off the pan. Fold & transfer to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
• Serve yellow moong dal dosa with peanut chutney or coconut chutney or ginger chutney or onion chutney & sambar.

Note: Batter stored in an airtight container stays fresh for 2-4 days when refrigerated.
