    Instant and crispy moong dal dosa recipe with skinned yellow lentils or moong dal. This dosa is protein-packed, gluten-free and low GI breakfast. With this recipe you can make crispy dosa without rice or fermentation. It is healthy and easy to make breakfast.

    Dosa is a South Indian crepe usually made with fermented batter of lentils and rice. It tastes good and is considered a healthy breakfast or lunch meal. The only thing that sometimes deter me to make it is the amount of time required to make a fermented batter. It takes time so you have to plan it in advance.

    Ingredients

    • Moong dal- skinned yellow moong dal
    • Ginger
    • Green chilli
    • Salt to taste
    • Ghee
    • Green chutney
    • Chutney podi

    Instructions

    Preparation

    • Wash and rinse the moong dal  and soak it for 30 minutes to one hour in warm water.
    • Drain our water after that.
    • Add soaked moong dal in a blender with ginger, green chilli and salt along with ½ cup water.

    Making Moong dal dosa

    • Take a non stick griddle or pan. Heat and sprinkle some water to cool it down. This makes dosa crisp and it cooks perfect golden brown.
    • Cooling down of tawa helps in spreading dosa batter evenly. Keep the heat to low while doing this.
    • Pour a ladle full batter and start spreading it from centre towards edges in a round using circular motion.
    • Add some ghee on the sides and on top. Increase the heat to the medium.
    • If you are making chutney dosa spread chutney or podi if you are using podi.
    • Loosen the edges of dosa using a spatula.
    • Fold and serve them hot with coconut chutney or sambar or both.

    Recipe Notes

    • Soak dal in warm water for 30 minutes if you like them fast and super crisp.
    • You can use split green moong if you wish but the result will not be as crisp.
    • Green moong dal crepe recipe also known as Andhra pesarattu is here.
    • Ghee in dosa tastes best but if you want to make it vegan.   

    Top tip

    Long period of soaking dal will not make them as crisp. So soak moong dal for a short time.Temperature control is a must to make perfectly crispy dosa so you must follow it as per recipe instructions. 

    Before making the next dosa, lower the heat and wipe the pan using wet kitchen towels. You can also cut an onion in half and use the flat portion of the onion to rub on the pan. This helps cool down the pan a bit and will allow you to spread the batter thinly and evenly.

    Serving Suggestions

    Best dishes to serve with dosa is Coconut chutney and sambar. Additionally you can serve green chutney or tomato chutney with this dosa. 

    Storage of dosa batter

    You can make moong dal dosa batter in advance and store in the refrigerator for upto a week and use it as required.
