Moonglet (Indian Street Food Omelette)

I’m SO excited to finally be able to post my Moonglet recipe!!! Moonglet is an Indian street food omelette, made with moong dal. No tofu, no chickpea flour or ‘justegg’ is needed to make this delcious, high protein and healthy-ish vegan omelette. I haven’t tried justegg myself but I’ve heard its amazing, and I discovered their star ingrediant is also moong dal!

If you follow me on Twitter you would’ve seen me tweet about this around July. I was planning on filming the recipe once I had all the ingrediants needed but then life happened, I burnt half my hand while frying, which caused me to have 2 massive blisters on my fingers. I tried filming this recipe with those blisters and it didn’t work out. And if you’re wondering why I didn’t just post the recipe on this blog, its because this recipe is something I’m so proud of, a recipe I love dearly and I felt like the Moonglet desererved a video recipe too! Another reason is that I couldn’t take photographs with my blistered hand. So here’s my long awaited Indian Street food Omelette… the Moonglet! Please don’t forget to tag (@paritakansagra) me on social media if you make this (please do!)

11. Grease vegan butter around the edges of the moonglet.
12. Carefully flip the moonglet, and cook for 2-4 minutes.
13. While the other side is cooking create 2 slits into the moonglet (check out the youtube video)
14. Spread vegan butter over the moonglet and into the slits.
15. Flip moonglet once again and cook until crispy!
16. Enjoy with my green chutney recipe or ketchup and hot sauce.
