I am back again with another healthy dosa option. Whole black Urad dal is used in Indian cuisine in many ways. One of the popular dishes that are famous throughout the world is Dal Makhani, where the black urad dal is the chief ingredient. In Tamil Nadu, we use this dal for dosas too. It is made with the same procedure that we do for regular dosas, except the rice: dal ratio and the soaking time for the dal. While many of you may wonder about the color of the dosa? Don’t worry, it renders a mild golden brown color and tastes yummy and healthy too. This is not a newfound recipe and is been in practice for age-old years in our places. The whole Ural dal is very high in protein and Iron content. It is essential for women with Iron deficiency when included regularly in the diet. Try including this dosa and get the benefits from it.

Notes
- The less soaking of the urad dal is to avoid the skin from coming off. The more we soak the dal will remove the skin, when we wash it.
- The addition of fenugreek seeds will render a warm flavor to the dosa. You can avoid it if you do not wish to.
- I have used Idli rice for this dosa. You can also replace it with brown rice or sona-masoori too.
