Ingredients
Scale
Sprouts Dosa Batter
- 1 cup moong beans (soaked overnight and sprouted)
- 1 bunch coriander leaves
- 1 inch ginger, chopped
- 3 green chillies
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ½ cup water (adjust as needed)
- ½ tsp salt
For Cooking
- Olive oil, ½ tsp (for roasting)
- Chopped onions (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Sprout the Moong Beans: Soak 1 cup moong beans overnight. After soaking, drain and tie them in a cloth to sprout for about 1-2 days until small sprouts appear.
- Prepare the Batter: Transfer the sprouted moong beans into a mixer jar. Add 1 bunch of fresh coriander, 1 inch chopped ginger, 3 green chillies, 1 tsp cumin seeds, and ½ cup water.
- Grind to a Smooth Paste: Blend all ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter, adding additional water gradually if necessary to get a pourable consistency.
- Season the Batter: Pour the batter into a large bowl and mix in ½ tsp salt thoroughly to balance the flavors.
- Heat the Tawa: Warm a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat until hot enough for spreading the dosa batter.
- Spread the Batter: Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it as thin as possible into a circular shape for a crisp dosa.
- Add Toppings and Oil: Sprinkle some chopped onions on top if desired and drizzle about ½ tsp olive oil around the edges to help crisp the dosa.
- Cook the Dosa: Allow the dosa to cook until the underside turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the Dosa: Flip the dosa carefully and cook the other side well until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the dosa from the pan and serve hot with spicy chutney of your choice for a delicious, healthy meal.
Notes
- Ensure the moong beans are properly sprouted for added nutrition and better batter consistency.
- You can adjust the spiciness by controlling the number of chillies used in the batter.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned tawa to prevent sticking and achieve a crisp texture.
- This dosa is naturally gluten-free and low in calories, making it ideal for weight loss diets.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
