Instructions

  1. Soak the moong dal in water for 4-5 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse well.
  2. Blend the soaked moong dal with 200 ml of water to make a smooth batter.
  3. Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and add chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil.
  5. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin circle.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
  8. Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.

Tips

  • For added flavor, you can include spices like cumin or ajwain in the batter.
  • Ensure the pan is well-heated before pouring the batter to achieve a crispy texture.
