Introduction

Split skinned green gram (Mogar dal) are very rich in proteins. Must intake for vegetarians. But how to consume it apart from in a form of vegetable or dal…? Why not some crispy snack item out of it….? We shall make a protein packed tea time snack . Simple & anyone would nod a YES to try & taste it…

Ingredients

1 cup Mogar/Moong dal/ split yellow dal (soaked for at least 3 hrs)

1 ½ cups Wheat flour

2 tsp chilly powder (can add more, according to preference of spice)

¼ tsp turmeric powder
3 tbsp oil (to be added while kneading the dough)

2 pinch asafoetida

Salt to taste
Oil for frying

Water

Method of preparation

Drain the water from soaked mogar /yellow moong dal. Take the dal in a wide mouth vessel, add wheat flour, chilly powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida,oil & salt. Mix well. (taste & check spice & salt & adjust accordingly)
Add water & make dough like that of chapathi. Rest it for about an hour.(can also avoid this)
Make small balls & roll all to thin chapathis as shown & keep aside.

Heat a pan, add little oil & fry it one side, keep pressing it on the pan, not allowing it to puff as below:
Press only on sides. Preferably can keep half the body of chapathi out of the pan & keep turning round with help of wooden press so that its evenly pressurized & cooked evenly crisp through out. (this avoids burning in middle of chappathi) (pic)

Keep on a little lower flame than medium.(NOTE: maintain this through out)Now flip, add oil & fry again till golden brown by pressing.
The crispy snack is ready to along with our hot tea/café .
