For the dosa batter, mix together all of your ingredients and whisk until they are well combined.
Then, mix together all of your sauce ingredients and set them aside.
To make the dosa, heat a tawa or griddle for a minute. sprinkle a few drops of water and wipe the pan with a cloth. Then, pour the batter with a ladle and spread it into a thin round layer by making circular motions. Instead of a ladle, you can also use the bottom of a steel bowl.
Drizzle some ghee or oil around the edges of the dosa and allow it to cook on medium heat for a few minutes until crispy and golden brown.
For the filling, add your mixed vegetables, sauce and butter on top of the dosa and mash it all together until it is well combined. You can use any vegetables that you would like!
Once the vegetables are mashed, top the dosa off with cheese, paneer, cilantro and moong sprouts and cut it into 4-5 equal strips. Roll the strips up and your Besan Jini Dosa is ready, enjoy!
