Moong dal idly

Every other day we are becoming highly health conscious. Here is one dish which tastes realky the same as our regular idly but too tasty without rice. Can be had by diabetics too.

Ingredients:
Urad dal -1 cup
Moong dal - 1 cup
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Asafodeita - 1 pinch
Bengalgram dal - 2 tsp
Green chilly - 1 no finely chopped

Method:
Wash and soak the dals for an hour. Grind it to a fine paste. Add the required quantity of salt and mix well. Heat oil in a seasoning laddle, add mustard seeds and when it splutters add the bengal gram dal, asafodeita and green chilly. When bengal gram turns golden brown add the seasoning to the batter. Mix well, pour it in the idly moulds. Steam well.

Serve with chutney and sambar.

Alternatively one can make idlies without seasoning. Cut the idles into pieces and fry them in little oil along with seasoning.
