Introduction
For Newars, Wo is one dish that needs to be there in almost most of the festivals that are celebrated every year. I guess it is more like having a cake here. Wo is a pancake-like dish that is made up of minced mung daal. I am not really fond of Wo but I love to make one though.
Makes about 8 - 10 servings

When you are done pouring them and after 15 seconds, use a spoon and spread around to make a round shape. You may need little water in a bowl so you can dip in the spoon for smoothness.
Note: If you cook it in this way, you can see a circle lined when you turn over - just for presentation, it will look good.

After about few minutes when the upper part looks cooked, turn over. If you need to add some oil around it, you can.

Remove Wo from the skillet now and let it stand until it cools off a little. Wo is ready to be served.
