Ingredients

• Moong daal(hesru bele, mooga daali) 1 cup
• Onion(chopped) 3/4th cup
• Lemon juice 2 tbl spns
• Curry leaves 1 strand
• Green chillies 4-5
• Mustard seeds 1 tea spn
• Coriander leaves 3-4 strands
• Oil 1 tea spn
• Salt

Directions

1. Soak moong daal in water for 3hrs (I soaked it for just 1 hr or may be less than that). Grind with salt without adding water(if required, add very less water) it to a coarse paste.

2. Make small balls with hand, keep on idli stand or a normal vessel and cook on steam (the way idli is cooked).Powder the cooked balls with hand to remove big lumps. (Ignore the bad smell of cooked moong daal at this stage!!!).

3. Heat oil and add mustard. When it starts spluttering, add curry leaves, green chillies. Fry for some more time. Now add onion and fry till they turn slightly brownish. Add moong daal powder prepared already and a little salt ( Salt is already added while grinding, so add only a little at this stage). Add coriander leaves and Lemon juice.

4. Serve hot.
