Sprouted Green Gram Pancake

#SproutedGreengramAdai : Sprouting increases the nutritional value of green gram especially protein content compared to dry green gram. The protein, vitamins and minerals content increase considerably when sprouted.

So it is advisable to include nutrient rich sprouts in our daily food  in some form.
Here I prepared a pancake using green gram sprouts.

The ingredients given are enough to make 4 - 6 pancakes.

Ingredients :
1/3 cup                                       Boiled Rice [ Idly rice ]
1/3 cup                                       Raw Rice
1/3 cup                                       Gram dal [ Channa dal ]
1/3 cup                                       Sprouted Green gram*
2 Tsp                                          Black gram dal
3/4 Tsp                                       Salt
1/4 Tsp                                       Asafoetida
2                                                Red chilly
1 Tsp                                         Cumin
1 Tsp                                         Fennel
1/2 inch piece                             Ginger

* Wash and Soak green gram for 8 to 10 hours. Then drain the soaked water completely.
Close with a lid and keep in a warm place.
Sprouts come out after 8 hours. Keep it outside for some more time to get better sprouts.
Then store in fridge.

To mix with batter :
3 Tsp                                         Coriander leaves chopped nicely
10                                              Curry leaves
1 cup                                         Bottle gourd [ #suraikkai ] nicely chopped
1/4 cup                                      Onion nicely chopped

Method :
Soak both the rice together after washing two times for 2 hours.
Soak gram [ channa ] dal and urad dal in another vessel.
After two hours take soaked rice, salt, chilly, fennel, cumin, asafoetida and ginger in a mixie jar.
Grind coarsely adding enough water.
Transfer into a bowl.
Now grind dals and sprouted green gram also coarsely and transfer into the same bowl.

Add other ingredients to the batter.
Mix well.
Heat a tawa on a stove over a medium flame.
Sprinkle oil over the tawa.
When heated up spread two ladle full of batter evenly.
Sprinkle oil over and along the rim of pancake.
Keep it closed until the rim of pancake turns golden color.
Then open and flip the pancake using a dosai ladle to cook the other side.
Transfer to a plate after both the sides are cooked well and become golden color.

Serve hot with Tomato Garlic chutney.

Note :

Be careful while flipping adai to cook other side as the dough is fully loaded with plenty of chopped  bottle gourd [ suraikkai ] pieces.
