#healthyjunior - This is a very popular Andhra breakfast. Nutritious and healthy, they are made of whole moong dal (green gram). It is prepared just as dosa and is relished with coconut chutney and sambar. In fact it can be had any time of the day.

In this recipe, I gave a slight twist by grinding the soaked moong dal along with some coriander stems and other ingredients for some more intense flavour. Traditionally, whole cumin seeds are soaked along with the lentil, but instead I added roasted cumin powder to it. They can also be packed for a lunch box meal too.
