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