Blend the dal with ginger, garlic, and green chili until smooth, adding water as needed.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in chopped onion, cumin seeds, and salt.

Fold in chopped coriander leaves for added flavor.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches.

Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot with chutney or sauce of choice.
