Unlike regular rice-based dosas, this one is crafted entirely from green moong, offering a unique nutty flavor and a beautiful green hue.
Over time, it has become a symbol of smart, healthy eating — balancing traditional taste with modern nutrition needs.

During sprouting, enzymes activate, boosting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant levels.
