Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow moong dal
- 0.5 cup oats
- 1 green chili
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon asafetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
- 1 medium onion
- 1.5 cups water
- 3 tablespoons oil
Instructions
Rinse the yellow moong dal under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in enough water for about 1 hour.
After soaking, drain the water and transfer the dal to a blender.
Add oats, chopped green chili, ginger, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, asafetida, and salt to the blender.
Pour 1.5 cups of water into the blender and blend until you get a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a bowl and mix in the chopped onion and coriander leaves.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa on medium flame and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour a ladle full of batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it into a thin circle using the back of the ladle.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges and over the top of the Sochen.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp. Flip it over and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make additional Sochen.
Serve hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
