Muringa Ela Ada
Healthy Lentil Dosa with Moringa Leaves
Equipment
- Mixer Grinder
- Dosa Tawa
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Urad Dal
- 2 tbsp Toor Dal
- 2 tbsp Chana Dal
- 2 tbsp Moong Dal
- 1 Dry Red Chilli
- ½ tsp Asafoetida
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Water
- ½ cup Idli/Dosa Batter
- 1 cup Fresh Moringa Leaves
Instructions
- Wash all dals thoroughly and soak along with the red chilli for a minimum of 1 hour.
- Discard the soaked water and transfer the dal and chilli to a mixer along with the asafoetida and salt.
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the mixer and pulse until you have an extremely coarse mix. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Transfer the ground mix to a bowl and add the idli/dosa batter.
- Add the moringa leaves and mix well
- You may have to add a bit more dosa or idli batter depending on the consistency of your ada batter.
- Place a dosa tawa on medium heat.
- Once hot, add a ladle of batter to the centre and gently but quickly spread it out in a circle.
- Make a small hole in the centre with a spoon or the back of the ladle. This helps the dosa cook evenly.
- Add some oil around the dosa and to the centre as well.
- Cook for 3 minutes and then flip and cook the other side for a further 2 minutes or until crispy.
- Serve immediately with your preferred accompaniment.
