For Dosa

1. Soak Pesalu ( Green Gram) & Rice overnight.
2. Grind Pesalu (Green Gram), Rice, Jeera, Green Chili, and Ginger to a smooth paste like dosa batter. ( I prefer using the batter the next day so that it ferments well)
3. Heat a Pan with oil spread all sides. Take batter and spread it in round shape like a circle on the pan.
4. Brush little oil to the ends of dosa.Now reverse the dosa to the other side and let it be like that for few seconds.
5. You can stuff dosa with Upma or can Sprinkle chopped onion, Green chili to it and fold it to middle as shown in the snap.

* Serve it with Upma and chutney..
