Add all the chopped vegetables and spices to the moong dal paste and give it a good stir. The goal is to get a dosa-like batter.

If the batter feels too thick, pour in a little water. If it turns too runny, add some sooji to bring it back to the right consistency.

Take a non-stick tawa, heat it, and drizzle some oil, ghee, or butter—whatever you prefer—on it.

Once the base firms up, flip it and cook the other side. You are aiming for a golden-brown crisp on both sides.
