Rinse 1 cup of whole green moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 4-6 hours or overnight to soften the dal.
Drain the soaked moong dal and transfer it to a blender. Add a small ginger, 1-2 green chillies, and cumin seeds. Grind the mixture into a batter.
Add salt to taste. Optionally, you can also add chopped onions, coriander leaves, and grated carrots for added flavour.
Heat a non-stick tawa over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease it with oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to form a dosa.
Add a few drops of oil around the dosa's edges to make it crisp. Cook on one side until its golden brown and crispy.
Optional: Add some chopped onions or coriander on top while cooking. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
