Green Gram Pancakes
Green gram is Sweet in taste & Light to Digest
It is cool & dry in nature
Cleans the stomach well
Cleanses digestive channels
Helps in igniting digestive fire & digestion
During monsoon season,
our digestive fire weakens
just like the Sun which hides behind dark clouds during rainy season
 
Moong Gram is very helpful in igniting this weak Digestive Fire
For this recipe
I soaked 1/2 cup of whole green gram for upto 5 hours
Drained the gram & then added 1 cup of rice flour
Blended both into fine paste with 1/2 to 3/4 cup water
 
The batter should be not too thick or too thin
Kept this batter covered aside for 15 mins
After 15 mins the batter is ready
added 1 cup chopped coriander leaves
1/2 to 3/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp pepper
Salt   &   pinch of Asafoetida
You can also add more ingredients like
chopped Peppers, Chillies,
grated Carrots, Cabbage, Bottle Gourd & Coconut
I will keep it simple today
Kept a pan over medium heat
When a little hot,
poured a ladle over
& Gently spread in circular motion
After a few seconds,
Drizzled over some Ghee
When the pancake starts leaving its edges
flipped it over
& drizzled some more Ghee

Flipped over
& pressed all over to cook evenly
Flipped over 3-4 times
till they turned golden-brown
& Pancake is ready this way
repeated this with the rest of the batter
Monsoons are a house to several diseases like cough, cold, fevers
Moong is very effective in these issues, esp. Fevers
Moong soup & water is very helpful
in igniting our digestive fire
simple recipe & light to digest
Enjoy for Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks or Dinner
with pickle, chutney or Podi (dry chutney powder)
You could also use 'Sesame Oil' in Winters & 'Coconut Oil' in Summers to make this pancake, instead of 'Ghee'
