Pakoda ( the crispy fritters ) come in different type. Onion pakora , spinach pakora , Potato pakora are some of the common types but today I’m going to share a less common recipe of pakora made with moong Daal
Moong Daal Pakoda ( मुगाच्या डाळीची भजी )
- 1 cup Yellow moong daal
- 1 inch ginger
- 4 cnt green chilis
- Salt (to taste)
- 1 small Onion
- 1/8 bunch cilantro
- 1 cup Oil (for deep frying)
Wash and soak moong daal in enough water for at least 4 hrs
Once washed grind the moong daal along with the chilis and ginger without adding any water or adding very little water
Once ground add in salt to taste and mix well with your palms
Add chopped onion and cilantro
Mix everything well
Heat oil in pan and let it heat up well.
Put a small drop of moong daal mixture in the oil. If it immediately floats,then the oil is hot enough
Using a tablespoon add small lemon size balls of moong daal mixture in the oil and let it fry until golden brown from all sides
Take them out of oil and let them rest on paper napkin so the oil is soaked.
Enjoy with mint and tamarind chutney
