Ingredients Needed for Moonglet
Creating this dish requires just a few common kitchen staples:
Moong dal (yellow): 1 cup (soaked for 2-3 hours)
Vegetables: 1 onion, 1 tomato, a bit of capsicum (all finely chopped)
Ginger-chili paste: 1 teaspoon
Spices: Salt, a pinch of turmeric, a dash of red chili powder, and asafoetida
Baking soda: half a teaspoon (to ensure fluffiness)
Butter or oil: for cooking
Steps to Prepare Moonglet
Begin by blending the soaked moong dal until you achieve a paste that is neither too runny nor too thick. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and whisk it vigorously for 2-3 minutes. The fluffier the batter, the better your moonglet will turn out.
Next, incorporate all the chopped vegetables and spices (salt, chili powder, asafoetida) into the batter. If you enjoy a sweeter taste, consider adding sweet corn for a pizza-like twist.
Heat a griddle or frying pan. Add the baking soda to the batter and mix gently, watching it rise. Don’t hesitate!
Pour a bit of butter onto the pan and spread the batter evenly, keeping it thick (similar to a pancake). Cover and cook on low heat. Once the bottom is golden brown and crispy, flip it over. Make a small incision in the center with a knife and add a touch more butter to ensure it cooks thoroughly.
Serve your hot moonglet with green chutney and sweet and tangy tamarind chutney. Pairing it with a strong cup of tea will elevate your breakfast experience.
