Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Masoor Dal Batter
- Soak 1 cup of masoor dal for 30 minutes.

FAQs
1. Can I use other types of lentils instead of masoor dal?
While masoor dal works best for its smooth texture, you can experiment with a blend of masoor dal and toor dal (pigeon peas) for a slightly thicker dosa. Avoid lentils that are too starchy.
2. How can I make the dosa crispier?
Ensure the pan is well-heated before adding the batter. Use a little oil or ghee, and don't overcrowd the pan. Cook on medium heat until the edges lift and the dosa is golden brown.
