The dosas are cooked on a griddle until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Sprouts are a rich source of nutrients and provide a good amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The combination of sprouts and rice flour in the dosa batter adds a healthy balance of carbohydrates and protein.
Sprout dosas can be enjoyed as a light and filling lunch, and they pair well with coconut chutney or any other chutney of your choice. They are low in calories and provide a good amount of fiber, which helps promote a feeling of fullness and aids in weight loss. This recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional dosas and is suitable for those following a weight loss or healthy eating plan.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup sprouted moong beans (green gram)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup semolina (rava)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- A handful of chopped coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
- Water for batter
- Oil for cooking
INSTRUCTIONS
- Wash and soak the mixed sprouts in water overnight or for at least 6-8 hours. Drain the water and keep the sprouts aside.
- In a blender or food processor, grind the sprouts into a smooth paste using a little water if needed.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sprout paste, rice flour, chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, green chili, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add water and mix to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to that of regular dosa batter.
- Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot tawa and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges and on top of the dosa. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the dosa and cook the other side until it is cooked through.
- Remove the dosa from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more dosas.
- Serve the Sprout Dosas hot with coconut chutney or any chutney of your choice.
