how to make moonglet
Step 1- Soak and grind the lentils
Soak moong dal for 4-5 hours and then drain the water and put it in the blender. Blend to make a thick paste. Now add water as needed and blend again. Add more water in batches to make a solution of medium consistency.
Step 2- Prepare the Batter
Take out the mixture in a bowl. Add salt, asafoetida and mango powder. Now add finely chopped onion, tomato, capsicum, green chili and green coriander to it. Mix well to make a batter. Keep whisking for a few minutes until the batter becomes slightly foamy.

Heat 1 tbsp butter in a small pan. Pour half the batter into the pan and let it cook for a few minutes. Make sure the pan is small and the batter forms a thick layer. Flip it to the other side and cook till it becomes crispy. Repeat this step to make one more moonglet.
