Ingredients
To Be Mixed Together Into A Batter
- 1 cup yellow moong dal (split yellow gram) , soaked for 5 to 6 hours and ground into a paste
- 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- a pinch baking soda (optional)
- salt to taste
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp besan (Bengal gram flour)
- 3/4 cup fresh low-fat curd (dahi)
- 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
- 6 to 8 curry leaves (kadi patta)
- 2 tsp sugar
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp ghee
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
- a pinch asafoetida (hing)
- 1 whole dry Kashmiri red chilli , broken into pieces
- 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)
Method
Handy tips:
- Ensure the moong dal batter is not very thick nor very thin.
- Add a spoonful of the batter to the boiling kadhi and wait for it to float up. If it does not float, it means the batter is too thin. You can add a little besan to the batter and proceed as per the recipe given above.
- Combine the besan, curds and 4 cups of water in a bowl and whisk till smooth.
- Add the ginger -green chilli paste, curry leaves, sugar and salt, mix well and put to boil.
- Simmer on a medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
- Heat the ghee in a small non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
- When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida and red chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add this tempering to the boiling kadhi and cover it immediately (this helps to retain the flavours of the tempering).
- To the boiling kadhi, drop spoonfuls of the prepared moong dal batter and coriander and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or till the dapkas are cooked and start floating.
- Add the coriander, mix well and serve hot.
