Mixed Dals Dosa/Mixed Lentils Dosa

Mixed Dals Dosa is made by grinding different pre-soaked dals/lentils and rice together. This is a nutritious breakfast as we are using different types of lentils in it.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup - Kandipappu/Toor Dal/Pigeon Pea/Yellow Lentil
1/2 Cup - Minapappu/Urad Dal/Black Gram
1/2 Cup - Sanaga pappu/Chana Dal/Bengal Gram
1/2 Cup - Pesarapappu/Moong Dal/Green Gram
1/2 Cup - Idly Rice or Regular Rice
1 Tsp - Salt (or according to your taste)
6 Cups - Water
1"X2" - Ginger
4 - Green Chillis
Oil to fry

Method:

* Soak all the dals and rice overnight in 6 cups of water.
* Drain the water and in a grinder, grind all of them together along with green chillis and ginger to make a fine dosa batter (add some water while blending and vary the consistency accordingly).










Fine Batter


* Heat a flat pan/skillet on high flame and when the pan is hot, spray some cooking oil and sprinkle some water on it.
* Pour 1/3rd Cup of batter and spread it evenly to make a thin dosa.





* Spray some more oil on the Dosa and cover it with a transparent lid and let it cook on a high flame.





* When the dosa is cooked on one side (around 2-3 minutes) , take off the lid and turn it to cook on the other side.




* Once the dosa is cooked on both the sides, serve it with a pachadi/chutney/dip of your choice.
