Preparation time: 4 - 5 hrs
Cooking time: 30 min
Serves: 3

Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)

1. 1/2 cup dosa rice
2. 2 tbsp toor dal
3. 2 tbsp channa dal or gram dal
4. 2 tbsp moong dal or green gram dal
5. 2 tbsp urad dal
6. 2 tbsp masoor dal
7. 1/2 " length ginger
8. 1 - 2 green chili or red chillies
9. 1/2 tsp jeera or cumin seeds
10. Little coriander leaves or 1 tsp coriander seeds
11. Salt as per your taste

Instructions for making Mixed dal or lentils or bele dose:

1. Rinse and soak rice and dals (lentils) for 4 - 5 hours.
2. After soaking, drain the water and grind until smooth using required water.
3. At the end add in ginger, green chili, cumin seeds and coriander leaves and grind again until smooth. You can replace green chilli with red chilli and coriander leaves with coriander seeds like how I have shown in the video.
4. The batter should be slightly thinner than the regular urad dosa batter. Add in salt and mix. You can add chopped curry leaves or coriander leaves. Optionally you can ferment the batter as well for few hours. This dosa tastes good either way.
5. Heat the pan, pour the batter and make thin dosas. Drizzle oil or ghee from top.
6. Fold and take out the dosas once they are cooked.
7. And if you ferment it for few hours then the dosa texture will be different, they the dosa will turn soft. I like both with and without fermenting. You decide depending on your taste.
