Soak rice and split peas in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and split peas and transfer to a blender.

Add water to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour the batter into a mixing bowl and stir in salt, chopped onions, green pepper, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, scallions, and chili pepper.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet and spread it into a thin circle.

Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the dosa and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the other side.

Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Serve hot with chutney or a side of curry.
