Ingredients
- Sprouted Moong Beans: 1.5 cups – The star of the dish, bringing protein, fiber, and a soft bite.
- Green Chili: 1 – Adds a gentle heat to balance the mild sprouts.
- Ginger: 1-inch piece – For that warm, aromatic punch.
- Cumin Seeds: 1 teaspoon – Lends earthiness and a hint of crunch.
- Carrot (grated): 1 – Adds color, sweetness, and texture.
- Onion (finely chopped): 1 small – Brings slight sharpness and depth.
- Coriander Leaves: A handful – Fresh herbal brightness in every bite.
- Salt: To taste – Essential to bring out all the flavors.
- Water: As needed – Adjusts the batter to perfect pouring consistency.
- Oil or Ghee: For cooking – Helps crisp the edges and adds richness.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Warm your non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium heat while you prepare the batter.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add sprouted moong, green chili, ginger, cumin seeds, and a bit of water. Blend into a slightly coarse batter. Pour into a mixing bowl and fold in grated carrot, onion, coriander, and salt.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Brush your pan with a bit of oil or ghee and make sure it’s evenly heated.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook to Perfection: Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges. Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook the other side.
- Finishing Touches: Once both sides are golden brown and crispy, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with mint chutney, tomato salsa, or a dollop of yogurt.
