Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on step-by-step home cooking. Prepare the mixture evenly before shaping or portioning, then cook with controlled heat for an even finish. Resting a formed mixture briefly can make handling easier when the recipe allows.

One useful cue from the method is to combine the yellow moong dal and green moong dal, fenugreek seeds in a deep bowl and keep aside to soak in enough water for 2 hours. Drain well. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.
