1 kg Yellow Moong Dal
200 g Paneer
500 g Capsicum Green
250g Green Chilli
100 g Coriander Leaves
1 box Baking Soda
250 ml Olive Oil
50 g Black Pepper Powder
200 g Dahi
50 g Cumin Powder
50g Everest Garam Masala
100 g Red Chili Powder

Instructions

1. Drain the soaked moong dal and grind it into a smooth batter using a blender, ensuring a thick consistency.
2. Transfer the batter to a bowl and mix in turmeric powder, salt, baking soda, and black pepper. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, prepare the paneer stuffing by combining crumbled paneer, chopped tomato, capsicum, green chili, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and coriander leaves.
4. Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour a ladle of moong dal batter to form a thick pancake.
5. Spread a generous amount of the paneer stuffing evenly over the pancake. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6. Carefully flip the moonglet and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the paneer stuffing is well-heated.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and stuffing to prepare additional moonglets.
8. Serve hot with a dollop of yogurt or your favorite chutney for added flavor.
