A south indian breakfast or tiffin item, made wholesome and healthy.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy beans
1/2 cup chana or chana dal (Bengal gram)
1/2 cup whole moong (green gram)
1/2 cup whole chowli (black eye peas/cowpea)
1/2 cup brown rice.
For grinding:
1 large onion
1 bunch of curry leaves
2 red chillies--dried (can use green chillies if preferred )
A pinch of hing (asafoetida)
Rock salt or sea salt as per taste.
Procedure:
Soak all the legumes and rice together, overnight.
Grind them together with the onion, curry leaves, salt, chillies and asafoetida.
Heat up a thick iron tava/pan. When hot enough, pour a tablespoon full and make into a dosa/crepe/pancake.
Cover with a lid. The steam will make sure the dosa/adai doesnt stick.
Flip and roast the other side till slightly brown.
Serve with coconut chutney.
Recipe for the chutney shown here:
Ingredients:
1/2 a coconut shredded.
1/2 cup roasted chana (bengal gram without the skin)
1 red chilli
pinch of salt
1/2 inch of ginger
Grind them together with a bit of water. (I skipped the water to make a drier version of the chutney as this was to be packed for school tiffin)
