Steps

1

Soak green moong dal for 5 to 6 hours.
2

Drain all the water completely. Add the moong dal to a blender and blend it into a very coarse batter, using minimum amount of water.
3

Add this blended paste into a mixing bowl. To it, add the remaining ingredients: asafoedita, cumin powder, onions, green chillies, ginger paste, coriander leaves, curry leaves, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, semolina, cornflour, baking flour and salt. Mix well.
4

Make small balls out of the mix. Deep fry these balls in hot oil on medium flame. These are made in Paniyaram Pan. So called Moong Dal Paniyaram.
5

Serve hot with any chutney.
