Method

  1. Soak the moong and urad dal together overnight; soak the chana dal separately.
  2. Grind the moong, urad and half the chana dal to a fine paste. Add the other half of the soaked chana dal and mix.
  3. Add everything except the spring onions; they release water and make the batter runny.
  4. When ready to fry, add the spring onions, mix and start frying.
