- 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions
-
Soak the moong dal: Place the moong dal in a bowl and cover with water. Let it soak for 3 to 4 hours, then drain and rinse well.

Prepare the batter: In a blender, combine the soaked moong dal with green chilies and a little water. Blend until smooth.

Mix the ingredients: Transfer the blended dal mixture to a mixing bowl. Add chopped fenugreek leaves, gram flour, asafoetida powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, oil, and salt. Mix well to combine into a smooth batter.

Cook the waffles: If using a waffle iron, preheat it according to manufacturer’s instructions. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until crisp and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
