Mung Dal Dosa and Coriander Peanut Chutney

I just loved the texture of  Mung dosa- thick, spongy and soft! Imagine the taste when it is slathered with coriander peanut garlic chutney! Both make a perfect pair.



I found this recipe from a cookbook.
Mung Dal Dosa
Serves 3
Ingredients:
Soak these in water for 2 hours:
Mung dal(yellow)-1/2 cup
Boiled rice or Sona masoori rice-1 cup
Fenugreek seeds-1 tsp

Other Ingredients:
Hing-1/4 tsp
Salt
Red chilli-1
Curry leaves
Green chilli chopped-1
Chopped ginger-1 tsp
Sour Yogurt-1/3 cup

Method:
After soaking the dal and rice, rinse and grind along with red chilli, salt and hing with some water to a coarse paste. The batter should be of dosa batter consistency-neither too thick nor too thin.
Add rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Heat a flat griddle. Spread some oil. When the griddle is hot, pour a ladle full of batter and spread it  in circular fashion. Drizzle oil around the corners. When one side turns golden brown, flip and cook the other side.
