Thoroughly rinse the quinoa and green mung beans in a bowl. Soak them in water for 6 to 8 hours (overnight works, too).
Drain and transfer them to a blender. Add the green chilies, ginger, cilantro, and salt. Grind into a smooth batter, adding ¾ to 1 cup of water.
Since this batter doesn't require fermentation, you can start making dosas immediately. But no harm in fermenting the dosa.
Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron pan. When hot, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Pour a ladleful of batter and gently spread it in a circular motion.
Drizzle about ½ teaspoon of oil around the edges. Let it cook until the top sets and changes color.
Flip the dosa and cook for another 15–20 seconds, then remove it from the pan.
Serve hot with your favorite chutneys or curries. Enjoy this gluten-free, protein-rich, and healthy meal!

You can swap quinoa for any millet if you prefer.
For extra flavor, sprinkle finely chopped onions on the dosa while cooking. In this case, you can skip flipping—ensure the top is fully cooked before folding and serving.
