Grind the soaked green gram, rice, ginger, green chillies, and cumin seeds with enough water to make a smooth batter.- 3
If the batter is too thick, you can add more water — but do not make it runny.- 4
Add enough salt and mix well.- 5
Heat a tawa. If you're using an iron tawa, cut an onion and rub it on the surface to prevent the dosa from sticking.- 6
With a ladle, pour the batter onto the tawa and spread it evenly in a circular motion.- 7
Sprinkle chopped onions over the dosa and press gently.- 8
Brush some oil around the edges to make it crispy.- 9
You can either flip the dosa and cook both sides or cook just one side (since the dosa is thin, cooking one side is usually enough).- 10
Serve hot with coconut chutney! - 2
