This healthy and delicious green gram dosa is a perfect meal for breakfast or brunch. It’s made with green gram, rice flour, ginger, cumin seeds, curry leaves and green chilies, and is typically served with chutney or chutney pudi.
Green gram dosa is a household favorite for us. The recipe is simple and doesn’t require fermentation like other dosa batters. Just soak the green gram overnight, drain the water, and then grind the soaked ingredients into a smooth batter along with ginger, rice flour, cumin seeds, curry leaves, Thai chilies, and some water. Stir in salt and let it sit for ten minutes before you start making thin, crispy dosas!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Green gram, soaked overnight and drained
- 1/2 inch ginger root
- 1 green chili
- A few curry leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons of rice flour
- Salt to taste
- 2 cups of water
- Ghee
Method:
- Rinse and soak green gram in a bowl overnight. Drain the water and transfer it to a mixer jar. Then add green chilies, curry leaves, cumin seeds, rice flour, salt, and ginger into it along with water and grind it into a smooth batter of regular dosa batter consistency.
- Transfer the batter to a large bowl and mix well. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron tawa or any dosa pan on low-medium heat. Lightly smear it with oil or ghee. Take a ladle full of batter and spread it on the tawa, just like you make regular dosa. Smear a teaspoon of ghee over it and cook until light brown. Serve healthy and yummy green gram dosa with coconut chutney, peanut chutney, or chutney pudi. Enjoy!
Keep the heat on low while you make dosa, that way it’s easier to spread. On high heat, the batter begins to cook quite fast and does not spread as easily and evenly.
