Moth Daal Pancakes (aka pudhe)

Here is another protein/iron/fiber packed recipe:

Ingredients:

Moth Daal - 1 cup (Soaked overnight)
Spinach - 1 cup (i use frozen,,too lazzyyyy)
Onions - 1/2 cup chopped
Green Chillies/Garlic/Ginger - as per taste

Procedure:

1. Grind the moth daal with a little water to a fine paste.
2. In a skillet, add 1 tbsp EVOO and add 1 tsp each of mustard seeds and cumin. Once they start spluttering, add the finely chopped onions, green chillies and saute.
3. After a minute, add the spinach and saute for another 2 mins. Add a little salt/turmeric/and any spice you like as per your taste.
4. Add this mixture to the ground daal paste. Add some water if it is too thick. The batter should not be too watery.
5. In a non-stick skillet or tava, whichever has a thicker base, add a few drops of EVOO and pour 1 ladle of this batter and spread out. I use a fork to spread it otherwise spinach tends to get a little crazzyyy.
6. Add a few drops of EVOO around the pancake. It should be able to move freely on the skillet. Once it does, flip it...fun..fun...
7. Cook and crisp as you like and serve. I like it with Ketchup but it will go great with green chutney.

Enjoy!! comments are welcome.

Variations:

Instead of moth daal, you can use moong daal (whole or split). You can even saute some peas into the recipe but if you are trying to lose weight, i would go easy on the peas.
