Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Moong dal (yellow split gram)
- 1 small Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Start by washing the moong dal thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for about 15 minutes. This helps in easy grinding and digestion.
Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a blender. Add the green chili, cumin seeds, black pepper powder, asafoetida, and salt to the blender.
Pour half a cup of water into the blender and blend everything until you attain a smooth, thick batter. It should be similar in consistency to pancake batter.
Add the olive oil to a non-stick frying pan and heat it over medium flame. Once the oil is hot, lower the flame to medium-low.
Pour a ladleful of the dal batter onto the center of the pan. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter into a thin, even circle (approximately 5 inches in diameter).
Allow the papad to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start turning golden brown. Flip the papad gently using a spatula and cook the other side until crisp.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil if required.
Transfer the cooked papads onto a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dip.
