Is moong dal beneficial for stomach?
Yes! Moong dal is very light on your stomach, making it a great snack if you’re keeping an eye on your health. It’s loaded with amino acids, fibre, iron, potassium and zinc—basically all the good stuff! And unlike fried snacks that make you heavy, these moong dal biscuits are a light, crispy option. Bonus: the high fibre means they fill you up without the extra calories!
How do you ensure that your moong dal biscuits are crispy and not soft?
What’s the secret to making the perfect crispy moong dal biscuits? Don’t make the dough too wet! Knead until smooth and stiff for the ideal texture. Also, prick each biscuit before baking so they cook evenly. And patience is key – let them cool completely on a wire rack to retain their crispness.
How to make Moong Dal Biscuits | Recipe
These biscuits are surprisingly simple to make! The recipe was shared on Instagram by video creator Annie’s Castle Tamil (@aniscastletamil). First, wash and soak moong dal for two hours. Then, grind it finely without adding water. Transfer to a bowl and add turmeric, carom seeds, kasuri methi, hing, salt, wheat flour, semolina and ghee. Knead all of this to make a dough.
Next, grease a rolling board with ghee, flatten the dough and cut into shapes. Prick each biscuit with a fork, apply oil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Sprinkle chilli flakes and devour!
Bonus Tip:
Make a large batch and store them in an airtight container. These biscuits will last up to 10 days when kept in a cool, dry place.
