If the Moong is well washed before soaking, the soaked water could be used for grinding.
The batter should be like Dosa batter.
Drizzle some oil on hot tava, take a laddle full of batter pour on hot tava, spread it into thin circle.
Sprinkle Cumin and finely chopped onions on top.
Once boiled, flip to other side and boil coupe of minutes.
