Thinking what to make for tomorrow’s breakfast? Every day it’s a big headache for most of us. How about some super healthy Instant Dosa’s? Yes , unlike the typical dosa, these moong dal dosa don’t need fermentation . Just soak the moong dal for few minutes and blend well with few spices. That’s it our Moong dal batter is ready.

Made with soaked moong dal and a few more simple flavoring ingredients, moong dal dosa is also called moong dal pudla or moong dal puda in some parts of the country. Crispy and crunchy they are perfect when you want to fix something quick .

Few Things to note while making Moong Dal Dosa :

  • Soaking the moong dal dosa in warm water for 30 mins not only helps in speeding the soaking process but also makes dosa crispy.
  • Don’t soak the dosa for more than 2 hours .  Soaking for more time makes the dosa very soft.
  • Adding rice flour makes the dosa more crisper . So don’t skip . In case you don’t have rice flour , add 1-2 tsp of corn flour .
  • Addition of ginger , jeera and green chilli adds flavour . For extra flavour you can add hing / coriander leaves / curry leaves / Onion .
  • If you want you can top the dosa with finely chopped onion / grated paneer / chutney pudi / stuff with aloo palya and make masala dosa.
  • Don’t make the batter too thick or thin . Too thick batter makes the dosa hard , thin batter makes dosa sticky.
