Ingredients:
Whole Green gram – 1 cup
Raw rice – 2 tbsp
Ginger – ½ inch
Jeera – 1 tsp
Green chillies – according to your taste buds
Salt – as per taste
Refined Oil
1 big Onion – finely chopped
Method:
Soak the green gram for 6-8 hours along with the rice. Grind it with
ginger jeera and greenchillies to a coarse paste. Do not add water while
grinding, if needed just add one tbsp. Make a thick paste (thicker than the
dosa batter). Add salt and mix well.
Heat a dosa tawa, and spread little oil. Take a ladle full of mixture
and spread it on to the pan just like a dosa and immediately sprinkle chopped
onion and press it on the dosa lightly and cook just like a dosa flipping over.
Make crispy dosas and serve hot with red chilli chutney.

Diabetics can use sprouted moong (green gram) for more health benefits.
