Notes
You can also use store bought/readymade Moong Dal Chilla mix to make moonglet.
Add any vegetables like colored bell peppers, peas, corn, broccoli, spinach, fenugreek leaves etc.
While grinding moong dal, you can add ginger and green chillies, instead of adding the ginger and green chilli paste to batter.
Add 1 pack Eno Salt or 1/2 tsp Baking Soda.
You can add red chilli powder or chilli flakes if skipping green chillies.
You can also skip chillies when making for kids.
Do not add baking soda/Eno to whole batter. Add only to the amount required at a time. Use half Eno pack for half portion of this batter. Leftover batter can be refrigerated and used later.
