Learn How To Make Moong Dal Dosa With Moong Dal – Manjula’s Kitchen 

Dosa is a popular south indian delicacy which looks like a crepe. It’s like a crisp and thin pancake made of rice and urad dal batter. Traditionally Dosa is served with sambar, aloo masala and coconut chutney. It is an Indian crepe made usually through rice batter, but here we have experimented and made many alternative dosa such as Oat Dosa, Besan Dosa, Rava Dosa, Sorghum Dosa, whole wheat dosa. This preparation is using moong dal and is a bread based gluten free breakfast recipe that is vegan. The preparation entails skillfully combining pan techniques and manual dexterity to achieve the perfect bread cooked on non-stick skillets.



Preparing Moong Dal:

Embarking on the enticing journey of crafting moong dal dosa, initiate by meticulously washing the moong dal, repeating the water-changing ritual to ensure absolute clarity. Immerse the dal in four cups of water, allowing it to soak for a minimum of four hours, cultivating a soft and pliable texture essential for the success of this revered moong dal dosa recipe. The thorough soaking not only aids in the dosa’s consistency but also serves as a testament to the meticulousness ingrained in the recipes of moong dal dosa.



Blending Moong Dal Batter: 

Upon draining the soaked moong dal, transition to the blending phase, where precision is key. Combine the dal with green chile and ginger, gradually introducing water to achieve a seamlessly smooth batter. Be mindful that the proportion of water directly impacts the final texture, a crucial detail in the nuanced art of dosa recipe with moong dal. This harmonious blending process transforms the moong dal into a versatile canvas, ready to absorb the flavours and nuances that define this iconic dish.



Seasoning the Batter: 

Elevate the moong dal batter to a symphony of flavours by introducing salt and cumin seeds. Adjust the water content with care, ensuring the batter attains the consistency reminiscent of pancake batter, a vital characteristic in the sought-after recipes of moong dal dosa. This seasoning process not only imparts depth to the batter but also plays a pivotal role in shaping the distinct taste profile that defines moong dal dosa recipe.



Heating the Skillet: 

Transitioning to the cooking phase, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, a critical step in the dosa-making process. The sizzle of water droplets confirms the skillet’s readiness, setting the stage for the dosa’s journey from batter to a crisp delicacy. This well-calibrated heat not only ensures the dosa’s optimum texture but also encapsulates the essence of precision embedded in the moong dal dosa recipe.

Pouring and Spreading the Batter: 

With the skillet primed, gracefully pour ½ cup of the moong dal batter onto the heated surface. Employing the back of a spoon, skillfully spread the batter in a spiral motion, originating from the centre and expanding to a symmetrical seven-inch diameter. This meticulous spreading ritual is not merely a technicality but an artful dance that defines the visual appeal and thickness of the moong dal dosa, showcasing the intricacies of dosa recipe with moong dal.



Cooking and Flipping the Dosa:

As the batter begins to dry, introduce a teaspoon of oil, spreading it delicately over the dosa’s surface. After a brief interlude, execute a precise flip using a flat spatula, revealing the golden-brown underside. Gently press the dosa to ensure uniform cooking, turning it two to three times. This vigilant cooking process guarantees a crisp finish and a tantalising aroma, embodying the essence of moong dal dosa recipe.



Repeating the Dosa-Making Ritual: 

The final act involves replicating the dosa-making ritual for the remaining batter, ensuring a consistent outcome. Reiterate the process of pouring, spreading, cooking, and flipping until each moong dal dosa mirrors the perfection achieved in the initial creation. This dedicated repetition encapsulates the spirit of tradition and craftsmanship ingrained in the recipes of moong dal dosa, culminating in a batch of savoury, golden delights awaiting appreciation in all their flavorful glory.

      August 18, 2012 at 3:29 pm

      Add more oil. Make sure batter is not too thick.

        vijay
        August 26, 2012 at 10:17 pm

        Also make sure you add less water when you blend. In fact water is not needed. This will ensure that the batter is smooth.

        When you heat the tawa, make sure it is hot and not warm. I use 5 on GE hob. if it is not hot, it will not be crispy. If it is too hot, it will either become black or not cook on the other side.

    this has been my all time favorite breakfast…but i prefer adding little garlic ,ginger and a couple of cloves while grinding the moong daal.it gives an amazing flavour.while serving..i generally use finely chopped onions,tomatoes,green chilly and coriander along with crushed paneer.this goes awesome with sweet and sour mint chutney.

    Thank you so much for this recipe!!!

    For health reasons we have had to go on south Beach Diet, and for the first two weeks can have no flours or grains. This recipe is a wonderful and healthy way to eat breakfast on the days we eat vegan. I make it with your chutney and my husband loves it.

    I do make one substitute, I don’t add green chili; I add about 1/4 cup shredded mooli. It is still spicy, but with the awesome taste of the radish. My mother serves it with yogurt and sugar so you can offset the spicy with the cool and sweet.

    Dear Aunty,

    Can this dosa be made with moong daal powder? I have the moong daal, but instead of soaking it for 4 hours in water, would it be quicker to use the powder? Will it come out with the same result? Thank you!

      Manjula Jain
      August 13, 2011 at 9:48 am

      Shilpi,
      You can use the moong dal powder it is ok, texture is different but make sure let the batter sit for half an hour before you make dosa.

    An excellent food for diabetics – sans the potato masala stuffing. Mung dal has a low glycemic index and keeps the rise in blood glucose levels slow and steady. It is also extremely filling. An excellent substitute for the regular rice dosas – for a hearty breakfast without having to worry about the glucose spikes. Goes very well with sambar and/or coconut chutney! Thanks a lot for the recipe of the great dish!

    Dear Manjula,

    I tried the moong dal dosa with cheese for a quick meal this evening, and they turned out wonderfully! Your videos are both charming and instructional – they make the recipe work.

    Keep up the great cooking – you will make an Indian cook out of an Irish chef yet!

    Hello Manjulaji

    I have a rather basic question. When I pour batter on centre of the pan and try to spread it to make a round shape I always get it wrong. Can you please explain the technique. My batter either sticks to the laddle or the dosa gets cooked too fast on the sides.

    Hi Manuja Aunty,

    My mother in law , does not eat urad dal at all, moong Dal dosa are a good substitute to the regular dosa. I was wondering, does the same batter help me prepare idli out of it, and also can i make dahi wadas and mendu wadas out of the moon dal.

    Please let me know, if that works out!!

    Your recepies are really great. I have just made the moong dal dosas and they were really great. I doubled the amount of moong dal and other ing so that I can make it for my tiffin to work. The batter won’t get spoilt if I kept it in the fridge for a week.

    I made Moong dal dosa but with slight variation.
    I soaked half cup of rice for 4 hours and 1 cup of yellow mung dal and then grinded as with cumin seeds, green chillies, red chillies and salt.
    Then made dosa with this batter..The rice version dosa is much more crispier and tastier.Thanks for the recipe.

      Hi Christine, In english also its known Moong and you can find this in any Indian grocery store.

      Jaya
      July 24, 2009 at 3:32 pm

      Wal-mart does not sell this lentil. If you are not near an Indian grocery store, many health/natural food stores may carry it.

      It can be spelled either “moong” or “mung”.

        Sonali
        August 6, 2009 at 8:14 am

        Hi,
        I have seen these in Walmart as well as Kroger. Look for “whole green lentils”. That’s the whole (green) moong daal. And split green lentils would be the moong daal used for khichadi or halwa.

      Aunty-ji, I´m from Argentina and there is only one Indian grocery store i know and its quite far from home. I couldnt find these lentils by that name and tried the recipe with regular (brown) lentils and the results were not good. Now i found a natural food shop that sells another type of lentils called “Turkish lentils” or “Asian lentils” that are of a pale orange colour and are much softer. Do you think these would be ok to try to make dosas? Thanks in advance for your answer, God bless you, your recipes are great.

        Jaya
        September 22, 2009 at 4:29 pm

        I’m surprised the Indian store didn’t have these lentils because they are very common in Indian cooking. They can be spelled “moong” or “mung”, but the pronounciation is the same. Check back or call backt to the store and ask for an Indian employee who should know what moong daal (daal is Hindi for lentils) is.

          Laurakis
          September 24, 2009 at 8:04 am

          yes, the indian store has them but its too far from home and couldnt find them in other stores. sorry if i didnt explain myself correctly. thanks for your kind reply.

        Pale orange dal is masoor dal . May not click in this recipe. The shop may have run out of moong dal as it is a very popular dal. Dal means lentil.

    I have made this recipe several times now and each time it came out really nice. I try to change the filling now and then. I made it once with bell peppers instead of potatoes, it was quite nice.

    I wanted to ask you whether we can store the dal batter and ifso how should it be stored and for how long can it be stored?

      May 14, 2009 at 6:14 am

      The problem is the pan. Either use a good quality non-stick pan or make sure the pan you’re using (if it’s not a non-stick) is properly “seasoned”. Some pans just don’t work well for things like dosa batter and the batter sticks no matter what you try to do.

      I now always use non-stick pans for my dosas. Keep in mind that the non-stick surface wears away with time, so use a newer one. Hope this helps.

    Hi Manjula Auntie,
    It looks like you’re using the split yellow moong dal. The only kind of Moong Dal I have at home is the whole one, can I use that or should I go buy the split one?

    Looks yummy!

    Manjula Aunty,
    When I saw in the finer print that these are actually Cheela I got excited as I know this dish as breakfast cheela in U.P.
    My mother-in-law also adds in things like tiny dices of potato and shredded carrots into the mxture before frying.
    Maybe you could consider adding Cheela to the main title.
    I cook mine to be softer (personal preference) like a thin pancake.

    if dosa’s should not stick to the tava , cut an onion into half, and rub that on the tava before each dosa… 🙂

    Dear Aunty Manjula,
    This dosa turned out very good. My 3 yr old daughter is a big fan of dosa and its always so tedious to make the usual dosa. This Moog Dhall Dosa is so easy and I can make it whenever I want. Thank you for this fabulous recipe!

    Hello Manjula,
    I stumbled upon your cooking live lesson on YouTube by chance. It is 23:49pm and I am fantasising about your Moongdhal Dosa. My toddler son (who still cannot speak) is going thank you tomorrow at lunchtime with a big smile and a mouthful. I just wanted to tell you that it is an absolute brilliant idea to teach people to cook nutritious vegetarian food “live”. Keep up the fantastic job! I am going to recommend your website to family and friends in Germany.
    Kind regards,
    Nages

    I want to know instead of soaking the dal for four hours, can we grind the dal straightway in the dry grinder and then mix it with water and again grind the batter in wet grinder. Sometimes you just think of preparing the dosas in the dinner and there is no time for soaking the dal
