Steps In Making
Moong Dal Batter
- Soak moong dal for 3-4 hours. Post that drain off the excess water
- Now transfer the moong dal in the mixer grinder. Add a green chilli, ginger and 2-3 tablespoons of water if needed. Now grind till it forms into a coarse batter.
- Transfer the batter in a bowl and add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, salt, coriander and mix till well combined.
For Moong Dal Toast
- Take a bread slices and evenly spread a spoonful of the moong dal batter on it. Similarly prepare the rest of them.
- Now place a pan/tawa over medium flame and add little ghee on it.
- Further place the prepared moong dal toast, the side on which we have applied the batter should face the tawa.
- Toast from each sides for 2-3 minutes on medium flame or until it gets a nice crispy texture.
- Immediately serve with ketchup or green chutney.
Recipe Notes
- Do not add excess water while grinding, as the batter might turn very thin.
- Do not grind the moong dal into a very fine paste, a little coarse texture gives better taste.
- Do not add a very thick later of moong dal on the bread.
