Moong Dhal Savory Puttu /Paasiparuppu Kaara Puttu

Ending the legumes and lentils series in Protein Rich Dishes in mega marathon edition with savory puttu.
I have already shared the sweet puttu with moong dhal,but today's version is a savory one .The procedure is almost same as sweet puttu.Instead of jaggery syrup it needs tempering with basic ingredients.
This puttu can be eaten as such,we prefer to sprinkle boondi or sev.Even spicy idly podi/chutney powder can also be sprinkled and eaten.My kiddo loves to top it with sugar and eats.Off to the recipe.......
