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 style, Green Moong Dhokla, Quinoa Moong Matar Pulao, and Pesto Moong Dal Appe.
So here is the written recipe followed by the pictorial one-
Green Moong Dal Dosa/Chilla

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.
But I am on diet so, could you answer to my question if possible?

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
