Green Moong Dal Instant Dosa/Chilla

A high protein, low fat meal which requires no rice or fermentation, unlike the traditional dosa. Its great for breakfast,lunch or dinner,for vegans and those suffering from gluten intolerance.

 

It goes really well with  Saravana Bhavan Style Tomato Onion Chatni/Kara Chatni,(my copycat recipe), and with Coconut Chatni. I have tried it just plain, sprinkled with onions and cilantro and with the traditional stuffing of  potatoes, it tastes delicious no matter what!

My most searched,reviewed and tried recipe is my Mixed Dal Instant Dosa-No Rice No fermentation. Other healthy dosa recipes are Daliye ka Dosa/Cracked Wheat Dosa and Brown Rice Dosa.  Other high protein,low fat options using dals are Moong Dal Appe-South Indian styleGreen Moong DhoklaQuinoa Moong Matar Pulao, and Pesto Moong Dal Appe.

So here is the written recipe followed by the pictorial one-

    How much I can have in a day for lunch?
    I am looking forward to try this recipe of yours it looks amazing to me plus it might be easy to make.

      Thanks Tathya. It is definitely an easy and healthy recipe to make. How much you can have in a day depends on so many factors. Your weight, if you are restricting carbohydrates, if you want to stay within a certain calorie count per day. These are high protein, so a think you can easily have 2. If still hungry have some Greek yogurt with it. That should keep you full

      Hi Laila, depending on how big or thick you make the dosa, calories should be between 150-200 calories.

    • Aanchal Gupta

      Hi Sj, depending on the size of the dosa, the carbohydrate per dosa can be anywhere from 15-20 gms, assuming that 1 cup of raw Green moong dal has 130 gms of carbohydrate and we can make 6-8 dosas out of one cup.
