1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds

- To make this nutritious dosa / pancake the first thing to do is to soak the green gram lentils/moong dal for about 6-7 hours or overnight.

- So, in a deep bowl or saucepan, add green moong lentils and 4 cups of water. Cover the pan/bowl and let the moong lentils soak for 8 hours or overnight.

- Once soaked, drain the water and rinse the lentil under running tap water.

- In a blender, add onion roughly cut into 4 pieces, add green chillies, coriander leaves (cilantro), jeera (cumin seeds).

- Add 2 teaspoon gram flour (besan), soaked moong dal along with half a cup of water. Blend to a fine paste.

- Transfer the blended moong dal mixture into a bowl. Add salt to tast and add 1/2 cup of water. Add water little by little, you do not want the mixture to be too runny. (Incase your mixture gets too liquidy, add some besan flour)

- The consistency of the batter should be runny but not too thick or too thin.

- Heat a non-stick skillet, grease with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it lightly using back of the spoon.

- Cook the dosa / pancake on a medium flame.

- Drizzle oil on the edges and cook till they are golden brown from both sides.

- This batter will make approximately 10 medium size green moong dal dosa.

- Serve hot with green coconut chutney, dates & tamarind chutney or tomato ketchup.
