Moong Savoury

Courtesy : Tarla Dalal

  I read this recipe from one of Tarla Dalal's books. I liked it cause I could make it when my inlaws visit us. I belong to a Jain Family and my inlaws follow the Jain lifestyle wherein they eat saatvik food without any roots , onion and garlic.. It is quite healthy too with protein in Moong . I have omitted a few things that this recipe calls for. Tarla Dalal uses Baking soda for the moong dal batter..which I wanted to avoid..




Ingredients
 
 1 teacup moong dal 
 4 green chillies 
 1 tablespoon gram flour (besan) 
 a pinch asafoetida 
 salt to taste 
 
For the green peas stuffing
 
 2 teacups boiled mashed green peas 
 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 
 2 green chillies, chopped 
 3 teaspoons amchur powder 
 2 tablespoons chopped coriander 
 1 tablespoon ghee 
 salt to taste 
 oil for cooking

For the green peas stuffing
 
1. Heat the ghee and fry the cumin seeds for a few seconds.
