Servings: persons

1 cup mung dal (Small yellow lentils)
1/2 cup uncooked rice (Jasmine or basmati work best)
5 green chilies (chopped)
1 inch ginger (peeled and chopped)
6 curry leaves (optional)
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida powder (hing)
salt
vegetable oil, to make dosas
Garnish
2 tablespoons cilantro, leaves (Coriander, Chopped fine)
2 tablespoons fresh coconut (optional) or 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional)
1 onion (chopped) (optional)

1
Wash and soak the moong dal and rice in plenty of water. (room temperature) for 2 hours.
2
Drain the dal and rice and grind them along with the green chillies, ginger and curry leaves (if using). Add a little water for easy blending. I usually add upto half a cup of the soaking liquid because I prefer thinner dosas.
3
Add salt and asafoetida powder to the batter and mix well.
4
***The batter may be stored in this form in the refrigerator for upto a week.
5
Before making dosas, garnish the batter with lots of chopped cilantro leaves.
6
Some coconut and chopped onions may be added too. (I usually omit both).
7
Make dosas or pancakes using very little oil on a non-stick pan.
8
Enjoy as is or with some green chutney or pickle!
9
I sometimes spread some chutney on the dosas, roll them up and chop them, stick a tooth-pick into each piece and serve as fun appetizers!
