Dosa is a beloved South Indian dish that can be enjoyed for its versatility and delicious taste. Among its many variations, green gram dosa stands out as a nutritious and flavoursome option. Also known as Pesarattu, this dosa is packed with protein, fibre and essential nutrient, thus offering a healthy twist to the traditional dosa.
Ingredients
1 cup green gram (whole moong dal), soaked overnight 1 cup rice 1 green chili, chopped 1 inch ginger, grated A handful of fresh coriander leaves Salt to taste Water as needed Oil for cooking
Step 1
Drain the soaked green gram and rice. Blend them together into a smooth batter along with green chili, ginger, coriander leaves, and salt. Add water gradually to achieve a thick pouring consistency.
Step 2
Once the batter is ready, transfer it to a bowl and let it ferment overnight or for at least 6-8 hours. Fermentation enhances the flavour and aids in digestion. After fermentation, stir the batter well. If it's too thick, add a little water to adjust the consistency
Step 3
Heat a non-stick pan or a dosa tawa over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre of the pan and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Step 4
Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until it turns golden brown and crisp.
Step 5
Flip the dosa and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 6
Once cooked, serve the Green Gram Dosa hot with coconut chutney or sambar for a complete meal experience.
