Green gram Dosa - Paasipayar Dosai

Its time to write a breakfast! Just felt that I have to write a maincourse to be relished with the chutney written on my previous post.
Something different... Paasipayar Dosai! This is how we call it.. Green gram Dosa.

1. Whole Green Gram - 300 gms
2. Idly Rice(Boiled rice) - 300 gms
3. Onion - 3 medium sized
4. coriander leaves a small bunch
5. Curry leaves - 5 to 6
6. Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
7. sounf - 1 tbsp
8. Asafoetida - 1/2 tbsp
9. Red chilli - 3
10. Grated Coconut - 1/4 cup
11. Salt to taste
12. Oil

Soak the green gram for about 6 to 8 hours. Drain the water and let it sprout.Sprouted green grams have high fibre content and are very good for health. Soak the rice before 3 to 4 hours of preparation.Grind the rice, red chilly, Asafoetida, sounf, cumin seeds together, little coarsely. The ground mixture should not be very soft nor very coarse. Add little water when you grind. Pour it to a bowl. Now grind the sprouted green gram also in the similar fashion, little coarsely and mix it with the other ground mixture.
Add salt to your taste. Now finely chop Onions,Coriander leaves and curry leaves and add to the mixture. Add the grated coconut for extra flavour.
The consistency of the dosa mix should be like idly mix, like a thick gravy.
Now heat the tava. spread a little of the mixture on the tava like dosa. Reduce the flame to half. Add oil and cook for about a min. Now turn the dosa on the tava and let it cook for another minute. when the dosa turns brown on both sides remove from heat.
Serve hot with Onion chutney.

Healthy Dosa ready! :)
