MUNG BEAN PANCAKES- MOONG DAL KA CHEELA
Preparation Time: 15 minsSoaking Time: overnight or 4 hrs
Cooking Time: 6 mins
Makes: 6 pancakes, 2 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup split/whole moong beans soaked in 2 cups of water overnight or for 4 hrs
½ cup of cold water
1” piece of fresh ginger
1 red chilli deseeded
1 tsp carom or cumin seeds
¼ tsp of Himalayan salt or any cooking salt
1 tsp of any vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS:
1) Discard the water from the beans and blend all the ingredients to form a smooth light batter not too runny or not too dense.

3) Reduce the heat and pour a ladle full of the batter into the centre of the pan. Swirl the pan for the batter to settle around the edges uniformly.
(I prefer to use an egg pan to make these pancakes for those lovely round shapes.)
4) Cook on one side and using a spatula or a wooden turner, flip the pancake to cook on the other side- usually a pancake should take about 2 mins on each side depending upon the heat setting.
5) Stir the batter again and repeat this process with the remaining batter to make the pancakes.
6) Serve the pancakes warm to your liking with any side dish or a topping of your choice.
