Easy Breakfast Recipe: How To Make Split Black Gram Or Urad Dal Dosa
Dosa is regarded as one of the most nutritious and filling breakfast options. Though it comes under South Indian cuisines, it is widely eaten in many other parts of India and is made in different styles.

Split black gram is also known as urad dal, urad bean, uddu or black matpe. It is a black colour legume when whole and is dehusked to make dal, which is white in colour. The daal has a sticky texture and earthy flavour.
According to a study published in the journal Bioinformation, black gram is rich in compounds like proteins, crude fibre, flavonoids and minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, manganese, copper and zinc, which is responsible for its popularity as a health-promoting staple food. Dal is documented for its well-known antioxidant properties.
Let's take a look at the split black gram dosa recipe and must give it a try.

- In a blender, add both and grind them. Don't forget to add water bit by bit to form a smooth mixture.
- Add green chilli, ginger, cumin seeds and coriander leaves and blend again.
- Pour the batter into a vessel and add salt to taste.

- 1. You can replace besan with rice flour or ragi flour if the mixture gets thin. However, make sure it is in little amounts.2. Use the fresh batter to make dosa and avoid refrigeration. 3. Eat the dosa when hot as it often gets dry when cold.
