These Dal Dosa are similar to the South Indian breakfast dishes like Adai and Pesarattu. There is no rice used in this recipe and is great for those looking for high protein & gluten-free diet. Mixed dal dosa are very good for growing toddlers and kids as these provide a good dose of protein and minerals essential for growth. Different kinds of lentils have varying type & levels of nutrition so you can make these with any lentils of your choice. To make these lentil dosa, I have used urad dal, green gram, chana dal and toor dal. You can replace any of these dals with any other of choice but the taste and crispness will change. With the quantities and type of lentils I use, the dosas taste delicious and turn out crisp. However they can also be made to soft dosas, more in the instructions below. The batter can be made ahead and stored for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. Keep it outside on the counter for about 30 mins before you use. Serve these Lentil dosa with Coconut chutney, Tomato chutney or Ginger chutney.

How to Make Mixed Dal Dosa (Stepwise Photos)

Preparation

I have doubled the recipe so you may find the ingredients to be more in the pictures & video.

  1. Add urad dal, green gram, chana dal and toor dal. You can replace any of these 2 with moong dal or masoor dal.
  2. Wash a few times with lot of water. Pour fresh water and soak for at least 4 hours. For toddlers and people with digestive problems it is good to soak these up to 8 hours.
  3. Discard the water and add the lentils, chilli and ginger to a blender jar. I use ginger as it helps in digestion and adds flavor. Also add in cumin and salt. Pour half cup water.
  4. Blend to a batter.
  5. To make crisp dosas, the batter must be thick but of pouring consistency as shown in the pic. To make soft dosas, pour more water and make the batter slightly thin.

Make Mixed Dal Dosa

  1. Grease a dosa tawa and heat it. When the pan turns hot, pour the batter in the center.
  2. Quickly spread it to a thin dosa. If you are unable to spread the batter well, add some water to the batter and mix it.
  3. Drizzle oil around the edges.
  4. When the dosa is half done, with the help of the spatula gently scrape the top of the dosa. This helps to spread the batter evenly, so the dosa cooks evenly. It also comes out thin.
  5. When the mix dal dosa is done, you will see the edges begin to leave the pan. Flip it.
  6. Cook until the other side is also done.
  7. Flip again and cook to crisp the dosa. Serve mix dal dosa with chutney or pickle. For more Recipes, you can checkCrispy Dosa recipeNeer dosa recpeCheela Recipe
