Yellow Lentil Dosa / Split Moong Dal Dosa

 Split Moong Dal or Yellow Lentil is naturally low in fat and high in protein. It's very light and easy to digest. We need to soak the dal for 30 minutes and dosa can be prepared instantly without any fermentation. This Dosa goes well with Spicy Onion and Tomato chutney or Coconut chutney.

Ingredients:
1 Cup Yellow Lentil / Split Moong Dal
2-3 Green Chilli
1 Small Onion
few curry leaves ( roughly chopped)
1 inch Ginger
Salt to taste
Water

Method:

• Wash and Soak Yellow Moong Dal for 30-40 minutes
• Drain off the water from the dal.
• In a blender add soaked dal, ginger, green chilli and salt and grind it to a smooth paste.
• Add 1/2 cup of water while grinding to get dosa batter consistency. Add more water if required.
• Spread some oil / ghee on tawa or iron griddle.
• Pour one ladle of batter onto the tawa and spread the batter into a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
• Sprinkle little chopped onions and curry leaves on top of the dosa.
• Once the dosa starts changing its colour spread some ghee on the edges and flip and toast the dosa on the other side.
• Cook on a low-medium flame.
• Serve hot with Chutney.
