For Nucchina Unde the lentils are soaked for a sometime in hot water and then ground in to a coarse paste. This paste is flavored with ginger, green chili and onion in my house. You could add dill leaves if you like the pungent smell of the leaves. Dill not being a favorite for us, I just skip it. I like to serve these as appetizer as well, with green chutney on the side.
