How to Make Spicy Moong Dal Waffles

  1. Soak 1 cup moong dal (split yellow lentils) in water for 3-4 hours.
  2. Drain and rinse the moong dal. Blend until smooth with 2-3 green chilies and 1/4 cup water.
  3. In a bowl, combine the blended dal with 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), 2 tablespoons gram flour (besan), 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida (hing), 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (soda bi-carb), 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt to taste. Mix well.
  4. Lightly grease your waffle iron or sandwich toaster with oil (if using a sandwich toaster).
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface of the waffle iron or sandwich toaster. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dip, such as a homemade mustard dip or coriander chutney.
