Let's see how to make Instant Mixed Dal/Lentil Dosa

Ingredients for Mixed Lentil Dosa

I have used 5 different dal here. But if you do not have all the five dals available you can still make it.Only essential ingredient is Urad Dal/Split Black Gram with or without skin. This dal adds on to the crispness in dosa.

I have used Split Moong (Yellow and Green), Red Lentils, Split Black Gram (with and without skin). You can also add 1/4 cup of Chana Dal or Toor Dal. Add 1/2 cup of Poha for the extra crispness. As mentioned above, you can add /14 cup of Rice flour, or even cornflour if you don't have Rice flour.

I usually soak dal at night before sleeping, grind the batter in morning and make dosa for breakfast. The batter stays good for next 2-3 days. Never freezed the batter so can't comment on it.

Did you know that same dal combination you can make Dal ke pakore( deep fried fritters) ?? or add chana dal along with other dal and make Panchratna Dal  that is served with famous Baatis of Dal Baati fame.

Few points to keep in mind, to make perfect dosa.. without the batter sticking on the griddle

--Griddle should not be very hot, it will not spread properly and if the griddle is cold batter will stick to it. Make Dosa on medium hot griddle.

--Batter should not be too runny or too thick as it it will not spread properly.

--Grind Dal to fine batter, it should not be gritty.

--After grinding keep batter to rest fro about 15 mins.
