For the laddu, blend the soaked chana dal, moong dal, sliced ginger, and green chilies. If the mixture does not grind smoothly, add a little water to create a smooth paste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add asafoetida and salt, mixing it with your hands. Optionally, you can add baking soda to aerate the batter. In hot oil, drop spoonfuls of the batter and cook until they turn a bright golden color. |
