Green Gram Dosa
This healthy and yummy green gram dosa is a perfect meal for breakfast/brunch. It’s made with green gram, rice, ginger, and green chilies and is eaten with chutney or chutney pudi.
Green gram dosa is a household favorite here. But it can be a slightly heavy meal for the weekdays, especially when you have work, so I prefer making this on the weekends for our brunch.
The recipe is simple and does not need to ferment either like other dosa batters. Simply soak green gram and rice overnight, drain the water, and grind the soaked ingredients into a smooth batter along with ginger, thai chilies, and water. Stir in salt and set aside for ten minutes before making thin, crispy dosa!
