    Easy moong dal dosa recipe for breakfast - South Indian tiffin

    If you're looking for an instant, healthy, protein-rich South Indian breakfast recipe, this low-carb dosa without rice is perfect. No Maida, no rava, no Rice flour dosai is not only healthy but tasty and quick

    What tastes best with a protein-rich Indian breakfast - payatham paruppu dosa?

    You can serve it with idli podi, chutney recipe, kadayal, thokku, etc.

    Can I skip soaking moong dal?

    To make the dosai tummy-friendly for digestion and ensure a properly cooked dosai, I recommend soaking it for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can also soak in piping hot water for 15 minutes.

    Do I need rice?

    Even without rice, dosai turns perfectly. Crispy moong dal dosa is perfect for weight loss

    Can I add veggies?

    Yes, you can add veggies of choice while grinding for this instant dosa recipe without idli batter

    Should I discard the red chilli

    I would recommend it to balance moong dal. I used Byadagi chilli, so the dosai is not spicy.

    Should I rest the dosai batter?

    Fermentation is not required for instant dosai; you can grind and make dosai immediately.

    Can I add an onion?

    Yes,  you can add onion to the Tamil-style dosa recipe
