Split Green Moong Dal Cakes Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Please note if you like it spicy you can add more green chillies or take out a few. Depends on your taste.
  • In a bowl put the split moong dal and enough curds to soak it (about a cup or little more)
  • Stir the curds and the dal leave to soak for 15-20 mins
  • Pour in the mixer and blitz it, until its a coarse batter
  • Meanwhile, on the stove take a vessel with some water at the bottom, (like how you would prepare for boiled vegetables) a stand on the top, to place the dish on)
  • Take the batter in a bowl and to this add the crushed chillies, ginger and salt to taste and mix it in thoroughly
  • Take a deep dish (like a half inch dept), oil the bottom of the dish
  • OR IF YOU ARE USING THE IDLI STAND
  • Oil each round of the idli stand and then pour in the batter
  • Take a small bowl, in this add a little of the batter, a pinch of eno and some lime juice. Mix well and pour it in the oiled dish
  • Put this dish in to steam,covered at the top
  • The steam time should be around 5-7 mins
  • Do step 10 for every time you put the batter to steam
  • Like you would with a cake, put in a knife and pull out to see it is done, or else leave it on for a bit more
  • Once done, place upside down at an angle to cool
  • Cut into pieces and serve with freshly chopped coriander
  • ********* FOR THE TRADITIONAL GARNISH *********
  • Once the dish is out of steaming and cooling
  • Take a small wok, put in a tbspn of oil
  • Once the oil is hot enough, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dry whole red chillies
  • Let it crackle (make sure it does not burn)
  • Pour over the steamed dhokla whilst they are in the dish
  • Cut and serve with freshly chopped corriander and grated coconut
  • For best taste, serve with green chutney or mint chutney
