Moong Puri / Pacha Payaru Puri / Green Gram Puri

Moong Dal (Pacha Payaru) is very good for health. Its very healthy for kids as it has high source of protein. Children who do not like to eat green gram will definitely love Puri's with green gram without knowing what they are having. 

Ingredients: (makes 25 puri's)

Whole wheat flour : 2 1/2 cup

Green gram : 1 cup

Green Chilly : 1 (for Kids) 3 to 4 (for adults)

Ginger : 1 inch long stick

Carom Seeds : 1 Tsp (Optional)

Coriander leaves : handful

Oil : for frying

Water : to make dough

Salt : To taste

Method :

• Soak green gram in warm water for 3 to 4 hours or soak in normal water over night. (i have over soaked my green gram so it started to form sprouts)

• Take the soaked gram put it in a mixer, add chilly, ginger, Coriander leaves and grind to a fine paste using very little water.

• Take out the paste in a bowl. Now add wheat flour, carom seeds, salt and knead it into a Chapathi/Puri dough consistency using water as required.

• Let the dough rest for 1/2 an hour.
• Roll the dough into small balls and make puri's. 

• Serve them with any curry of your choice. (I have made Masoor Dal fry for my daughter, as she likes dal with puri)

Note :

• You can also make chapati using the same dough if you are conscious of oil consumption.
