Method
Pre soak green gram (saboot moong) for 4- 5 hours and boil it in cooker for 1 whistle, drain and cool
Wash methi leaves let the excess water drain away and chop it finely...
First powder the bread crumbs/rusk which ever you are using keep aside..
Grind green chillies, ginger, garlic and then add the cooked drain grams grind to fine paste and take it in a bowl ..
