METHOD – REFER TO THIS VIDEO FOR REFERENCE – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7byt487aOFc

Add the veges  +  other chopped ingredients.

NOTE *Check the taste of the batter and adjust the taste .Remember the batter doubles because of eno so the spice and salt has to be little more  , else it becomes bland after adding eno / baking soda .

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non stick pan . Spread the oil all over the pan .

Add lemon juice + eno just to the batter just before making the moonglet .

Beat the batter well to make a fluffy batter.

Pour roughly 1 cup  full batter and spread it .

Cook covered on low flame for 3 to 4 mins  to give a golden crust.

Flip little  and check after 3 mins. If not golden the cook for more time.

Flip carefully  . Give few slits with spatula /knife . [ run the knife on the the top , not till bottom]

Spread some butter all over . Continue to cook on the other side also for few mins .

When both sides are golden and crisp, take out and serve immediately.

Enjoy green moonglet with green chutney and tamarind chutney or ketchup .

For making moong dal pizza – Pour half the batter to the hot pan .Now spread a layer of grated cheese in the centre – avoid the edges. Now top it with more batter to completely cover the cheese .Serve it with ketchup. OR just top hot moonglets with grated cheese .

NOTES

  1. After adding eno don’t store the batter , finish the batter immediately .
  2. We can add different veges of our choice like methi ,spinach ,boiled green peas ,beetroot ,cabbage ,zucchini ,kasoori methi etc.
  3. Divide the batter into 2 batches , add ½ eno at one time and use the batter.
  4. You can add 2 tbsp rice flour also to the batter.
  5. If you don’t want to use Eno then ferment the batter overnight and add veggies at the time of making moonglet.
  6. You can add ¼  tsp baking soda in place of Eno fruit salt.
  7. You can use butter in place of oil .
  8. I made 2 big moonglets from 1 cup green moong dal.
  9. You can serve it with green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney.
  10. Instead of using moong dal batter , we can use idli batter also ,just add little besan to it before using.
