8. Cook both sides till they turn golden at low-medium flame. Use a few more drops of oil if necessary.
9. Continue with remaining batter.

NOTES

1. You can use green moong dal in place of yellow moong dal but pancakes taste better with yellow moong dal.
2. Piri Piri Seasoning can be replaced with chilli flakes/chilli powder/chopped green chillies as per availability/taste.
