Instant Moong Dal Dosa

Step by step procedure to prepare Instant Moong Dal Dosa. This is a very crispy, tasty and easy to prepare dosa recipe. The recipe doesn't require any overnight process as we do to prepare our traditional dosa. I usually prepare for this dosa dinner, but it is suppose to be a filling and healthy breakfast too. And this instant dosa helps me a lot when the weather is too cold to ferment my idli/dosa batter. As I said I prefer this dosa for dinner, but if you want to make it for breakfast, you can prepare the batter and keep it in fridge and use it in the next morning for preparing dosa.

Method

• Wash and soak 1 cup of Moong dal and Rice flake for 4 hours.
  
• After soaking it for 4 hours, strain the water and transfer it to a blender. Add Green chilli, Ginger, Hing and Salt.
  
• Add water and blend it to make a smooth paste.
  
• In a pan, add a spoon of oil and fry the finely chopped onion until the raw smell goes off. This step is optional, you can also add onion directly to the batter. 
  
• Now add the fried/raw onion into batter. Add the chopped coriander and a table spoon of jeera.
  
• Prepare batter in dosa consistency. Check for salt. Set the batter for at least 30-40 min before preparing dosa. 
  
• Prepare dosa in your normal procedure. Serve hot Moong Dal Dosa with any chutney or sambar.
  

Note:

• You can add onion raw or fried and it is totally your choice, as few may not like raw onion.
• If you are preparing for breakfast, I suggest, you can prepare the batter in the previous night and keep the batter in the fridge. In the morning you can add onion and coriander and set it for 30-40 min before preparing dosa.
