Green Gram Dal Dosa



Green Gram dal is an excellent source of protein. This dal finds a way to enter my kitchen in numerous ways. It is packed with nutrition. It is a known fact that soaking the green gram dal in water for 2/3 days increases its nutritive value many folds. Here is a simple recipe from green gram dal.

Preparation Time : 1hour

Recipe

1. Soak 1 cup of green gram dal for about 6-7 hours.
2. Grind the soaked green gram with a piece of ginger and 5-6 green chillies in a blender.
3. In a vessel add a little oil and let the cumin seeds crackle.
4. Shallow fry some finely cut onions and cumin and add to the batter
5. Add salt
6. Make dosas the usual way.
7. Serve with Tomato chutney or capsicum chutney.

Tips

1. For kids - use less green chillies. Rest of the recipe remains same.
2. While making dosas, cover and cook. Gets cooked faster as the heat is retained.
