Revitalize your meals with moong dal cottage cheese dosa. A flavorful and nutritious recipe that is hassle-free and protein-rich.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat)
• 1- inch ginger (peeled)
• 2 green chilies
• 2 cups moong dal (rinsed and soaked for 6 hrs or overnight)
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 to 5 tsp oil (Approx 1/2 tsp for each dosa.)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Rinse and soak the yellow mung bean/yellow moong dal for 6 hours or overnight for up to 10 hours.
2. 2In a mixer jar, add 1 cup of cottage cheese, peeled ginger, green chilies broken into two pieces, drained moong dal, and 2 tsp salt. Now grind this into a smooth batter by adding 1/2 cup of water.
3. 3The batter is now ready. We don't need to ferment the batter. You can start making the dosa right away.
4. 4Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron pan. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium-low. Take a ladleful of batter and pour it onto the pan, spreading it gently. Drizzle about ½ teaspoon of oil around the edges. Cover with a lid and let the dosa cook in steam—once it's well cooked and the top side changes color, flip the dosa and cook only for 15 to 20 seconds and remove it from the pan.
5. 5Serve hot with chutneys or curries of your choice. Enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed dosa!
