Moong dal dosa is a traditional Indian breakfast, that is often understood as a high-calorie dish. But it's the ingredients and method of cooking that make up the calories and today's recipe is one that will make you a dosa lover!
Yellow moong dal is extremely light and easy to digest. It is easier to cook compared to other dals and one of the best low carb dal available. On other hand, rolled oats are also very easy to cook. Today's recipe combines the best from both of these superfoods to present you with Oats Dosa with moong dal.
Ingredients notes
The list of ingredients is relatively small with very little prep work involved compared to other dosa recipes.
Oats: I used rolled oats. Use any brand or types of oats.
Moong dal: for this moong dal dosa you will need a yellow split lentil which also known as yellow moong dal.
Chilies and ginger: This spices will enhance the flavor of the dosa.
How to make this recipe
Soak Yellow Moong Dal in water for at least 2 hours. Drain the water and blend with all other ingredients with water except rice flour.
Pour the batter into a bowl, add salt, and mix in the rice flour. Mix well to remove all lumps.
Heat the griddle or skillet, pour the batter on to griddle, and spread it thin to a round shape. Drizzle a couple of drops of oil. When oats dosa turns golden brown, reduce the heat.
If you prefer a cone dosa: With a scissor, make a cut starting from the outer end and cut to the center. Roll the dosa, starting from the cut to end in a cone shape.
