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 :) )

Yellow moong daal Dosa

Hi,

I love this Dosa genuinely.It doesn't take time for fermentation ; also, doesn't require rice in it ..so it is healthy too :)

Preparation time: 10 min

Serves: 3 people

Ingredients:

1 and half cup yellow split moong daal.

2 T spoon grated ginger or to taste

4-5 green chillies or to taste

1 small spoon Asafoetida

1/4 T spoon Turmeric

2 T spoon Coriander powder

Salt to taste

Procedure:

1. Soak Moong daal for minimum 5 hours. 5-7 hours is ok.
2. Once ready to make Dosa, grind daal,ginger,green chillies together in mixer to a thin paste.
3. Add enough water to make grinding easier. Carefully add the water as the consistency is important.
4. The batter should be of the Dosa consistency. Medium consistency that is. Batter shouldn't be coarsely ground it should be finely ground(smooth batter).
5. Add turmeric,salt, Asafoetida,coriander powder now.
6. Pour a ladle full batter on hot Tava ( griddle) and spread it in circular motion starting from centre to outside. ( I know all of you must be aware of this already :)

8. Flip the Dosa and roast the underside as well for 2 min. Just for a 1-2 min.
9. Serve hot, with pudina chutney or maggy ketchup or lemon pickle.

Happy Eating!!

पेसरट्टू / Green Gram n rice dosa

One more Dosa without fermentation which makes me feel a healthier Dosa. Also, whole Green gram makes it rich in Protein and energy. Green gram is one of those who doesn't loose their protein profile even after cooking. :)

I think that is why green gram curries are so healthy.

Alright then, Enjoy your healthy Andhra cosine's Pesarattoo :) Green gram Dosa....

To give a spicy edge, i made Potato Bhaji (which is used in usual masala Dosa)

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Serves - 8 to 10 Dosas

Ingredients:

1 cup rice

1 cup whole green gram

2 T spoon grated ginger

4-5 green chillies

2 spoons cumin seeds

4-5 sprigs of coriander leaves

salt to taste

1/4 T spoon sugar

Procedure:

1. Soak rice, green gram together for 7-8 hours.
2. Grind rice-gram together in mixer along with grated ginger,green chillies,coriander leaves,cumin seeds,salt,sugar. While grinding add little water.
3. Keep the consistency of batter little thin than normal dosa.
4. Heat the griddle with little oil.
5. Spread the batter in circular motion to make dosa.
6. Roast well. Flip the Dosa and keep it on griddle for a minute or two. Don't overcook the other side.

Note: If you want Dosa to be more crispy, take 1:2 proportion of Rice-Dal. That is if you take 1/2 cup rice, take 1 cup whole green gram. This serves ( 1/2 cup rice+1 cup green gram) around 8 Dosas.

So if you can make as many dosas as you want with this proportion.

Dill leaves( shepu) finely chopped
palak finely chopped
carrot(Gajar) grated

Also,if you have fine rava(Fine semolina) with you,even that will work fine :)
