1 cup udad dal
1 cup sprouted horsegram

salt to taste

Procedure:

Soak rice,udad dal with fenugreek seeds separately overnight.

Grind dal and fenugreek seeds and keep it aside.

Now grind rice and mix it with dal paste.

Once the sprouts are ready grind it to smooth paste and add it to the batter.

Add salt to taste and keep it for fermentation for 10 to 12hrs.

Heat a flat non-stick girdle, drizzle oil and pour the batter. Spread with the back of a spoon in a circular motion and leave to fry crisp.When done flip to the other side, fry lightly and turn over.

Stuff with potato sabzi and serve it with either coconut or peanut chutney. Kids too enjoy this different taste of dosa.
