• Ginger – 1 inch piece

• Green chilies – 2 to 3

• Salt – to taste

• Water – as needed

Method – Dosa Batter

1. Soak Masoor Dal: Rinse the dal 2–3 times. Soak for 10–15 minutes (optional, but helps soften).

2. Grind: Add soaked dal to a mixer along with oats, beetroot, ginger, green chilies, and a little water.

3. Blend to a smooth, thick batter. Do not make it runny.

4. Whisk well, add salt to taste, and set aside.

Cook the Dosa

1. Heat a dosa tawa. Grease lightly and sprinkle water to balance heat.

2. Pour a ladle of batter, spread into a thin dosa.

3. Cook on medium-high flame until crisp and golden. Drizzle oil or ghee on edges.

4. Flip if needed, or cook just one side if thin enough.
