5. Add a few drops of oil on top and around the circumference.

Notes and Tips
2. You can also use a combination of daals instead of only moong daal, e.g. 1/2 cup each of moong, urad, arhar and chana daals with 1 cup of rice.
3. This is a popular breakfast of Tamil Nadu. It does not require a long lead time like Dosa or Idli, as there is no fermentation taking place
