Moong Ghavan / Healthy Green Gram Dosa / मूगाचे घावन




This is a traditional Marathi preparation. Less time consuming and healthy...yet very tasty ;)

I had soaked Green gram overnight to make sprouts and then make curry of it but then sudden changes in plans and i made this delicious Dosa :) Its very very easy with very few ingredients.
Do try it!

Preparation time: 10 min ( and 2 hours of soaking of Dal)
Cooking time:4 minutes

Ingredients: Mung bean ( green gram)
Green chillies
Grated ginger
Salt to taste
Finely chopped onion
finely chopped coriander leaves


Procedure:
  1. Soak Mung bean ( Whole green gram / हिरवे मूग ) for 2 hours in water. ( You can soak it overnight as well)
  2. Drain all the water properly but while grinding, put Green gram ,green chillies,ginger in mixer and just add few spoons of water just to make the grinding easy. Make a paste.
  3. Add salt to this paste as per your taste.
  4. Add little water to get the consistency of Idly batter i.e little thicker than Dosa batter.
  5. Keep chopped onion,coriander leaves aside ready.
  6. heat up Tava enough.
  7. Spread little oil.
  8. Take a ladle full Batter and spread it like Dosa.
  9. On top, spread chopped onion,coriander.
  10. Let it cook on medium flame.
  11. It has to be cooked only on one side. So wait patiently till you see the top side of Dosa is not wet which means Dosa is properly roasted from bottom( other side).
  12. Once ready, fold it half ( like we do for masala Dosa)
  13. Serve hot with tomato sauce or pudina chutney or any hot powdered chutney mixed with yogurt :)
Note:
  • If you are using non-stick Tava, you don't need to apply oil for the second Dosa. also no need to sprinkle oil from side unlike usual Dosa. Which makes this Dosa more healthier :)
  • You can even do it with sprouted Mung bean because that way it will increase the nutrition contents. ( and I never liked any curry of green gram with any spice ;) so this is the best option :) )
