But i tried a different version of it in the form of dosa, and truely it was an amazing dish, a variety but simple and light. Moong daal has good nutritional values and so if it is used in our diet with variety in dishes then its better for good health. Childrens are generally very fussy about their meals. If they are served same dishes every time , it just irritates them . Serving them green moong daal dosa will be a unique and nutritional dish. Below is the recipe

  2. Grind the mixture in food processor. Remove the water before grinding. 
  3. Add the chopped green chilli and ginger paste and salt to the bater and grind again , add water to it making a semi liquid bater.
  4. Heat a non- stick pan and put 1tbs of oil on it. Now take 1 cooking spoon bater and spread it in round shape with thin width.
