Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup masoor dal washed
  • ⅓ carrot chopped
  • 1 dried red chilli
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-1.5 cups water
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for cooking

Method
 

  1. Grind the masoor dal, carrot, red chilli, cumin seeds, and a little water to form a smooth paste.
  2. Add the remaining water to the dal paste and mix until you get a smooth batter.
  3. Add salt and mix well.
  4. You can cook the dosa immediately or let the batter rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Heat a tawa, pour a ladle of batter, and spread it evenly in a circular motion.
  6. Drizzle oil and cook both sides until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve hot with sambar and coconut chutney.

Notes

  1. You can add other vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the batter for added flavour and nutrition.
  2. Use a non-stick tawa to prevent the dosa from sticking and to make it easier to flip.
  3. Experiment with different types of lentils or spices to create unique flavour combinations.
