Ingredients

• Green gram (mung beans) - 150 grams

Steps

1. Soak the mung beans in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften.

4. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a round patty shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat for the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
