100% Crispy Moong Dal Pakoda
Ingredients
- Moong dal1 cup
- Ginger1 inch
- Chili pepper2
- Curry
- Cilantro2 tbsp
- Turmeric½ tsp
- Garam masala½ tsp
- Chili powder½ tsp
- Cumin1 tsp
- Carom seed¼ tsp

Instructions
- Soak the moong dal for 1 hour, but no longer, since over-soaking makes the pakoda soft instead of crunchy.
- Drain the dal and grind it in the mixer with the ginger to a coarse paste.
- Transfer the paste to a large plate and add the chilli, curry leaves, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chilli powder, cumin, ajwain, onion and salt.
- Squeeze and mix well so all the spices are evenly combined.
- Drop small bite-sized portions of the mixture into hot oil.
- Stir occasionally over medium heat.
- Fry until golden brown and crunchy, then drain.
