Moong daal pakode

Hi Friends,
Writing the blog in the evenings usually remind me evening snacks and today I am sharing a traditional recipe of moong daal pakode which will make you drool on rainy evenings.

MOONG DAAL PAKODE:










INGREDIENTS:
Moong daal (Split green gram)
Pyaz (Onion)
Hara dhaniya (Coriander leaves)
Hara mircha (Green chilies)
Namak (Salt)
Tel (Oil)

METHOD:
Soak moong daal overnight and grind to fine paste.
Chop pyaz in fine long strands. Finely chop hara dhaniya and hara mircha.For this recipe we need to use pyaz, hara dhaniya and hara mircha in good quantity.
Mix moong daal paste, pyaz, hara dhaniya, hara mircha and namak in a mixing bowl. Consistency should be semi solid and mixing has to be thorough...more the air trapped , more crispy the pakode will be.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry pakodas till crisp and golden. Drain extra oil on tissue paper.
Serve hot with green chutney and garma garam chai.

TRICK:
For the crispiness of pakodas, use moong daal with chilka. The chilka not only adds up to nutritional value of pakodas but also make them crispy. The long strands of pyaz also make the pakodas crispy.

Enjoy....
