• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Rinse the rice and split yellow moong dal together under running water until the water runs clear.

4. Add 1/2 cup of water, grated ginger, cumin seeds, black pepper, and salt to the blender.
5. Blend until you achieve a smooth, thick batter, adding a little more water if necessary.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
