Ingredients:
- 2 cups mung beans (whole/split green gram)
- 3 whole dry red chillies
- 2 tsp chopped ginger
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 3-4 green chillies (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp oil
- pinch of salt
Method:
- Wash and soak the mung beans in water for a minimum of 4 hours. I soak it overnight to use it for the next day morning.
- Drain the mung beans and grind it with the dry red chillies in a mixer to a smooth batter.
- Pour the paste in a bowl and add the chopped green chillies, chopped onion, coriander leaves and salt to it. Mix well. Keep aside.
- In a small pan, heat the oil and saute the cumin seeds until light brown. Pour the oil and the cumin seeds to the batter. Mix well.
- Heat a non stick dosa pan/pancake or crepe pan and when it becomes medium hot, pour a laddle full of the batter in the middle of the pan. Spread it from the center to become a nice round like a dosa or crepe. Pour a spoon of oil around the dosa edges to make it crisp and golden brown.
- Flip over the dosa and let it cook both sides. Remove it and repeat the same with the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with a nice onion, coconut or ginger chutney. Healthy!!
