Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup masoor dal washed
  • carrot chopped
  • 1 dried red chilli
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-1.5 cups water
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Grind the masoor dal, carrot, red chilli, cumin seeds, and a little water to form a smooth paste.
  • Add the remaining water to the dal paste and mix until you get a smooth batter.
  • Add salt and mix well.
  • You can cook the dosa immediately or let the batter rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Heat a tawa, pour a ladle of batter, and spread it evenly in a circular motion.
  • Drizzle oil and cook both sides until golden and crispy.
  • Serve hot with sambar and coconut chutney.

Notes

  1. You can add other vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the batter for added flavour and nutrition.
  2. Use a non-stick tawa to prevent the dosa from sticking and to make it easier to flip.
  3. Experiment with different types of lentils or spices to create unique flavour combinations.
