Moong Dal Savoury
No, this is not a dosa although the batter seems like one. No, it is definitely not a puri although it looks like one. Indeed, this Moong Dal Savoury is like no snack you have ever tasted before. A deliciously savoury batter of moong dal, curds and spices is topped with a peppy green peas mix and cooked on a tava till it turns an irresistible golden in colour. This sumptuous snack is great to have for breakfast, but can be served at parties too. You can save time by preparing the topping the previous day itself.

2. Pour a spoonful of the batter on the tava (griddle) and spread in a circular motion to make a 75 mm. (3″) diameter circle.
3. Spread a little stuffing on it and press it gently.
4. Cook on a slow flame for 1 to 2 minutes
5. Turn it upside down and cook again for 1 to 2 minutes.
