Ingredients

• Green gram (mung beans) - 100 grams
• Rice - 50 grams
• Ginger - 1 inch piece, grated
• Green chili - 1, chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - for cooking
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 small, finely chopped
• Coriander leaves - a handful, chopped
• Sev (crispy chickpea noodles) - for garnish
• Chaat masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Soak the green gram and rice in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the soaked grains and blend them with grated ginger, chopped green chili, cumin seeds, and salt into a smooth batter, adding a little water if necessary.
3. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
4. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan, spread it into a thin circle, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
5. Flip the dosa and cook for another minute, then remove it from the pan and keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. In a separate bowl, combine chopped onion, tomato, coriander leaves, chaat masala, and lemon juice to make the topping mix.
7. To serve, place a dosa on a plate, top it generously with the onion-tomato mixture, and sprinkle sev on top for crunch.
8. Serve immediately while the dosa is crispy.
