salt to taste
METHOD
Wash and soak moong dal in water for 4-5 hours or overnight. Grind dal with some coriander leaves to make coarse paste using little water if required, adding chopped coriander gives nice green colour.
Transfer in a bowl, add rice flour and salt, mix well. Add little water at a time to make to spreading consistency batter I used 3/4 cup water, if required little more to get right consistency batter.
First make small dosa to check the right consistency of batter, it should be easily spreadable in circular motion.
Heat pan (it should be hot not warm), clean with kitchen towel, keep ladle full of batter, first spread from the center and then moving in circular motion from the edges.
For crisp and evenly cooked dosa, spread the excess batter which get collected in the edges with silicon spatula as shown in pic.
Now put oil on the dosa from center to edges and let it turn crisp and brown. Cook on medium flame never on low flame.
Wrap the dosa and enjoy with peanut chutney or plain sambhar.
