- 5Add rice flour, cumin powder, chili powder, hing, and salt to the mixture.
- 6Thoroughly mix all the ingredients with a wooden spoon until a thick, chunky, and colorful batter is formed.
- 7Heat a non-stick pan (tawa) with a generous amount of oil.
- 8Spread a large spoonful of the batter evenly in the pan, forming a thick, round pancake.
- 9Cook the moonglet on medium heat until golden brown and crispy on one side, covering it with a wooden lid.
