To make {span class="bold1"}whole moong dosa{/span}, combine the moong, rice and the urad dal in a deep bowl and soak in enough water for 4 hours.
Drain well and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste using 1½ cups of water as required till the batter has the consistency of dosa batter.
Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl, cover with a lid and keep aside to ferment for 5 to 6 hours.
Add the salt and mix well.
Divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions and keep aside.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it using ¼ tsp of oil. Sprinkle a little water on it (it should sizzle immediately) and wipe off using a piece of cloth.
Pour a ladleful of batter on a hot non-stick tava (griddle) and spread in a circular motion to make a 150 mm. (6”) diameter dosa and spread ¼ tsp of oil around the edges.
Sprinkle a portion of the stuffing evenly over the dosa and press it lightly. Cook till it is brown in colour and fold it over.
Repeat with the remaining batter and stuffing to make 7 more dosas.
