Step 1

Rinse the yellow moong dal under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in enough water for about 1 hour.

After soaking, drain the water and transfer the dal to a blender.

Pour 1.5 cups of water into the blender and blend until you get a smooth batter.

Transfer the batter to a bowl and mix in the chopped onion and coriander leaves.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa on medium flame and lightly grease it with oil.

Step 7

Pour a ladle full of batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it into a thin circle using the back of the ladle.

Step 8

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and over the top of the Sochen.

Step 9

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp. Flip it over and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
