Moong dal dosa:

Green moong dal is an excellent source of fiber, nutrients, and protein. The fiber content in the green moong makes us feel fuller for a long time. So, this moong dal dosa is a healthy alternative for the dosa made with white rice that is loaded with carbs. The best part in this dosa is, you do not have to set the batter for fermentation. You can make dosa immediately after grinding. So, you can just soak the green moong overnight and grind in the next morning in just a few minutes using the blender for a healthy and filling breakfast. Green moong dal with fresh ginger, cumin seeds, and green chilies helps to make a flavorful dosa. Check out the other low-carb dosa recipes, chickpea dosa and quinoa dosa.

Smart Cooking Tips:

1. You can replace the green moong with yellow moong dal but green moong dal is rich in fiber content compared to the yellow moong dal. If you are using yellow moong dal, it is not necessary to soak for 5 – 6 hours just an hour of soaking is enough.

2. Add green chilies according to your taste.

3. You can add little amount of rice or rice flour that helps to make a crispy dosa. If you using raw rice, soak rice with moong dal and grind with together with all other ingredients to a smooth batter. If you are using rice flour, add rice flour to the batter just before making dosa and mix well. I didn’t add rice or rice flour in this dosa still the dosa turned out crispy. Use non-stick skillet for making dosa that helps to make crispy dosas with less amount of oil.

4. Topping the dosa with caramelized onion and green chiles are optional.

How to serve moong dal dosa?

You can serve moong dal dosa with tomato chutney, peanut chutney or cilantro chutney.
