Delhi street food, delish moonglet !! yes … moonglet recipe which is famous across Delhi, which I’m sure you are going to make time and again from now onwards.
You read it right … today I’m here to share the recipe of how to make yummy moonglet easily at home. Basically moonglet is made using soaked yellow lentil/peeli moong dal/hesarubele.
We can make it for breakfast or like evening snack. I make it very often during summer season. One of the fiber rich, Protein rich, vitamins rich, tasty, yummy dish and soft, fluffy from inside and crisp outside. Moonglet is actually available in chat shops in Delhi but not in the restaurants.
One thing what I have noticed here is, they put some good quantity of butter to make it crisp and while serving also they pour the melted butter on it, But as you all are aware I can’t use that much butter in any recipe. So I have altered it according to my requirement, but you can definitely put more butter if you wish.
Just soak, grind, make and top it with some coriander leaves and beetroot Juliennes – That’s it !! – doesn’t it sound easy and yummy …
We have never eaten/tasted it outside, but I have observed very closely when they were making. It is a very easy dish to make and includes very few ingredients besides being healthy. Anybody can make this easily.
