Udid and Moong Dal Pollo ( DOSA)

This is a very yummy Pollo/ Dosa but guess what? No rice in it..............so for all you low carbers, and high protein dieters, this is a perfect breakfast. It is very light too. I am so excited to feed my little one and her little one, something nutritious, as well as tasty every morning. This preparation was made at my Ajji's house too, but I had completely forgotten about it. This is similar to the "Addai" version of south indian dosas, which calls for a variety of dals and rice. All of these dals can be easily found in any Indian store. The added ginger and green chillies just bumps up the taste.
Ingredients:
1 cup Udid Dal
1 cup Moong Dal
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 or 2 finely chopped or ground serrano peppers
2 tsp salt ( to taste)
Wash the dals thoroughly and then soak them for about 2-3 hours until soft.
Grind it to a smooth paste, using the water that was soaked in, to a cake batter consistency.
Add salt and the grated ginger and chopped chillies. You can add a little yoghurt, if you like it a little sour.Let it ferment overnight, to make it even lighter.
Using a large cast iron griddle , spread a ladle full of batter into a nice round shape,lightly drizzle it with oil around the edges, and cook covered until the edges are browned and seperated from the tava(griddle). Non stick pans make excellent low fat version of this. Flip and cook on the other side, until nice and crisp.
Serve with green chutney , butter or konkani nonche (pickle) or just plain.............................
