This is a healthy and easy to prepare snack and a real favourite among people from Andhra, especially those who love the ‘Andhra pesarattu’
STEP 1 : Getting the Moong Dal ready
| Moong Dal | 1 cup |
| Onion, medium sized, chopped fine and divided into two portions | 1 |
| Garlic 2 cloves | 1 tsp |
| Cumin seeds | 1/2 tsp |
| Dried red chilli | 2 |
| Ginger | 1 inch piece |
| Coriander leaves | Small bunch |
| Salt | To taste |
| Oil | 2 tblsp |
Drain all the water from the soaked moong dal , add garlic, cumin, red chilli, ginger, coriander leaves, half of the chopped onion and salt. Grind this down to a coarse paste. This is important as making it too smooth will affect the texture of the patty. Mix the remaining half of the chopped onion to this paste.
Heat a flat pan , place one tablespoon of the dough on it and flatten it down. An average pan will accommodate about 6 such patties. Line the patties with oil and keep turning them over till the patties become light brown in color.
Enjoy hot with coconut chutney.
