Ingredients

• Masoor dal (red lentils) - 100 grams
• Water - 200 ml (for soaking)
• Fresh ginger - 1 tsp (grated)
• Green chili - 1 (finely chopped)
• Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp (chopped)
• Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Oil - 2 tbsp (for cooking)

Steps

1. Rinse the masoor dal under cold water and soak it in 200 ml of water for at least 2 hours.
2. Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a blender. Add a little water (about 50 ml) and blend until you get a smooth batter.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the blended dal with grated ginger, chopped green chili, coriander leaves, cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of oil.
5. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a round pancake shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
7. Serve the Masoor Dal Pancakes hot with yogurt or chutney.
