Fiber lowers cholesterol levels, and helps you loose weight. Vegetarians can get fiber from unpeeled fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and seed. Whole mung bean is loaded with fiber. Mung bean dosa(crepe) is a delicious dish. My kids like to eat it with chili powder or brown sugar.
Ingredients:
2 C whole mung
1 fist full rice
4-5 green chili
1inch fresh ginger
1 t asafoetida
salt to taste
1 onion, chopped
3-4 green chili, chopped
1 T chopped cilantro
Method:
1. soak mung bean and rice together for 6 hours.
2. Drain the water. Grind along with chili and ginger. The batter should be smooth. Add salt and asafoetida, and mix well.
3. Heat a skillet over a medium-high heat. Meanwhile, add the last 3 ingredients to the batter.
4. Pour a ladel of batter on the hot griddle, and spread it. Drizzle oil around the batter. Turn the dosa over when the color changes, and cook the other side. Prepare the dosas, and serve warm with onion chutney or dosa powder.
Variations:
1. Instead of adding onion and chili to the batter, you could saute onion and chili and fill the dosa with the mixture before serving.
2. Typically, this dosa is served with sooji upma.
