User's comments:
u can also add a pinch of asafoetida
just add two bunchs of corrinder leaves,ginger and three chillis(green)to soaked rice before grinding to make it more tastier and green.
what happened to the soaked rice.Incomplete reciepe
pls tell about the rice and water quantity
The receipe is complete.It is common sense that dal and Rice has to be mixed and girnded coarsely.This is also called as dal Dosa in KARNATAKA
You could also have this with Gur.
It is not moongdal the whole moong with rice to be soaked together for almost 2-3 hrs, add ginger and green chillies while grinding. After spreading on the pan sprinkle finely chopped onions
Sprinkle jeera over the dosa and onions, chopped ginger and green chillies...
