Top tips
Soaking the moong beans is important though sprouting is not. I use the sprouted moong beans for Extra nutrition.
1 cup of moong beans yields 2.5 cups of soaked moong beans and 3 cups of sprouted beans.
Do not open the waffle iron before they are cooked or they may fall apart.
Jalapeño chillis are bright red with less spice which is why I used it in the recipe. You could use green chilies or dried red chilies as per taste and availability.
Jaggery besides the sweetness also imparts lovely golden crust to the waffles. Don’t skip it if not necessary.
Garlic is a personnel choice skip it if you don’t prefer.
In case you do not have waffle iron proceed in the same way to make a pancake of 4”diameter.
Generously use butter if not using oil
