Ingredients
For the Moong Dal Paste:
- 1 cup Mung Bean mung beans, soaked for 4-5 hours, yellow
- 1 inch Ginger peeled and roughly chopped
- 4 Chilies finely chopped (adjust to taste), green
- 2 tsp Fennel Seeds or 2 tsp fennel powder (saunf)
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, ground
- 2 tsp Coriander Powder (dhania powder)
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Roti Dough:
- 1 cup Jowar Flour sorghum flour
- 1/2 cup Rice Flour
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2-3 tbsp Water as needed for dough consistency
Instructions
Prepare the Moong Dal Paste
- Soak the moong dal for 4-5 hours. Drain well and grind to a smooth paste with ginger, green chilies, salt, and all the spices. Add a little water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Prepare the Roti Dough
- In a large bowl, combine jowar flour and rice flour. Add vegetable oil and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Combine and Knead
- Add the moong dal paste to the dry flour mixture. Add salt and gradually add water, kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Cook the Rotis
- Take a small lemon-sized ball of dough and roll it into a 6-7 cm diameter circle. Cook on a hot griddle (tawa) for about a minute per side, or until lightly browned. For extra flavor, cook the roti directly over a low flame for a few seconds on each side.
Serve
- Serve the hot rotis with chutney, raita, or buttermilk. You can also add a dollop of ghee (clarified butter) for extra richness.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Moong Dal Masala Rotis
- For a smoother paste, ensure the moong dal is soaked thoroughly.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to suit your spice preference.
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Don't overcook the rotis; they should be soft and slightly pliable.
