Step 1:

Rinse the dal and rice in running water until the water comes clear. Soak dal and rice in enough water for 30 minutes. It will make the ingredients smooth for blending

Step 2:

Remove the water and transfer dal and rice to a blender along with green chillies, salt, cumin seeds, and ginger. Add water slowly and gradually to make a thick batter. Make sure the consistency is similar to pancake batter.

Step 3:

Heat the tawa on a medium flame. Once heated, pour 2 drops of oil to grease the tawa for a crispy texture.

Step 4:

Pour a server full of batter on the tawa. Move it in a circular motion over the tawa. Drop 2-3 drops of oil on the sides of the batter. Heat it over a medium flame until it turns golden brown. Turn the pancake to the other side and heat for 2 minutes.

Step 5:

Serve the dal-dosa hot with coconut chutney and sambhar.

Step 6:

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
