Ingredients

  • 20 g whole green moong, soaked 6–8 hours
  • ½-inch ginger
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 green chilli
  • 20 ml water for grinding
  • 1 teaspoon each finely chopped onion and grated carrot
  • 2 tablespoons besan
  • 5 g Power Sprinkle
  • 2 tablespoons water to adjust consistency

Method

  1. Drain the soaked moong and discard the soaking water. Grind it with the ginger, garlic, salt and green chilli, adding 20 ml of water, to a smooth paste.
  2. Take 30 g of this batter. Add the Power Sprinkle and 2 tablespoons of water and loosen it to a runny consistency.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and grated carrot, then the besan. Add a little more water if needed to get the right consistency.
  4. Heat a pan, grease it lightly and pour in the batter, spreading it into a thin round.
  5. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden and crisp.
