Ingredient:

1/2 cup Urad daal, 1/2 cup Moong Dal, 1/2 cup Chana Dal, 1/2 cup Moong Chilka, 1/2 cup Masoor Dal, 1/4 Fenugreek Seeds.

Dosa better:

Soaking the lentils overnight or for few hours, grind to a dosa batter consistency, and fermentation process. Traditionally, the dosa batter is fermented, however, for mixed lentils dosa, you can use the batter right away or chose to ferment.

Add Salt to test, (Optional hing, Ginger, green chill past ) at the time of making.

How to make Mixed Lentil Dosa:

Before you start making dosa, fill a small bowl with ice cold water, and couple of paper towels. Heat a non-stick griddle or a cast iron pan. Sprinkle some water, and wipe it with damp paper towel. Reduce the heat to low, ladle spoonful of dosa batter in the center of the griddle. Starting from the center of the griddle, using a circular motion, spread the dosa batter evenly as possible. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook the dosa. Drizzle some ghee or oil, and spread it using a spatula. As the dosa gets cooked, the center and the edges of the dosa start to brown. Run the spatula around the edges of the dosa, and carefully fold the dosa into half or thirds, like a triangle or roll.

Mixed lentils dosa is ready to be devoured. Serve dosa hot with some sambar and coconut chutney.

Optional:

You can add filling of your choice before folding the dosa.

Notes:

This is very important, before making next dosa, reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle some cold water onto griddle, wipe it with a damp paper towel. Make sure to bring down the temperature of the griddle.

If the griddle is too hot, the batter will stick to griddle, and will not be able to spread. In order to be able to spread the batter, it is important that every time you start with a warm griddle not hot.

Filling/ Stuffing Choices :

There are endless possibilities, stuff it to your and family’s heart’s desire. From the classic potato filling, to more trendy one pav-bhaji filling.
