Moth dal dosa/ Sprouted matki dosa 

Moth or sprouted matki is a good source of calcium, protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. 

Moth dal dosa is healthy and nutritious dish made with sprouted moth dal. This dosa is similar to pesarattu which is made with sprouted green moong dal. This is an easy dish which needs no fermentation. Once, you have the sprouted moth dal ready, put it in the mixer jar along with ginger, garlic, green chilli and grind it to a smooth dosa batter consistency.

3. Then place it in sprout maker or tie it in cloth and keep aside to sprout for couple of hours or overnight to sprout.
