Green Moong Dal Waffles
Savory waffles made with Green moong dal dosa batter. Protein packed waffles which can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or snack.
Servings: 4 waffles
Equipment
- waffle maker
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole green moong dal
- 2 green chili
- ½ inch ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- ⅓ cup coriander leaves, finely chopped
- salt to taste
- 1 cup water
- oil as needed to make waffles
Instructions
- Wash and soak the green moong dal in plenty of water for 8 hours or overnight. After 8 hours, rinse the dal and drain the water completely.
- Add the dal to a blender. Add the green chili, ginger and cumin seeds.
- Add ¾th cup of water and grind the dal. It should be ground well but doesn’t have to be super smooth.
- In a plate add finely chopped onion, grated carrot and chopped coriander. Mix it well.
- Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add the onion mixture. Add salt and mix the batter. If you feel the batter is too thick add some water, not too much. I added ¼th cup of water to the batter.
- Preheat the waffle maker and spray some oil. To my round waffle maker I added about ¾th cup of the batter in the middle. Using a spatula spread the batter to fill the cavities and drizzle some oil.
- Cook the waffle as per instructions. You can select the desired level depending on your preference. It may take 3-4 minutes for the waffle to cook. Once done, gently remove the waffle with a spatula and serve it with chutney.
Notes
Make sure you soak the dal for atleast 8 hours or preferably over night before grinding it.
Though it tastes best when eaten right away, you can reheat them in a toaster oven. If it looks dry, sprinkle some water before toasting.
