Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 Cups Split Yellow Moong Beans
  • ½ Inch Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 Small Onion
  • 1 Small Tomato
  • Few Curry Leaves or Cilantro leaves
  • 3 tablespoon Water

Instructions
 

  • Wash the moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 4 to 6 hours. Drain the water before grinding.
  • Transfer the soaked moong dal and ginger to a blender. Add a small amount of water and blend into a smooth, thick batter.
    The batter should be pourable but not runny.
  • Transfer the batter to a bowl. Add chopped onion, chopped tomato, sliced curry leaves. Mix everything well until evenly combined.
  • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or ghee.
    Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a thick pancake.
    Cook for 3 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown.
    Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until both sides are crispy and cooked through.
    Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with kechup or chutney of your choice or yogurt
