Green Gram Dosa

Hesarukalu Dosa

Ingredients :

Dosa rice : 1 cup

Green gram : 1 cup

Menthya seeds : 1 tsp

Bengal gram : 1 tbsp

I soaked green gram for about 8 hr n drained kept it for sprouting. 

Next soak rice, menthya seeds, bengal gram for about 4 hours. 
Grind both into a nice batter. 

Rest for 3/4 hours. 

The proportions can be varied like, less rice can be taken.. Here I had taken equal amount of rice n green gram, another thing is this dosa can be made without sprouting gram also just soaking green gram. 

Variations can be made if one wants spicy dose like adding ginger, green chillies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds. Here I have done plain simple dosa.
