    Moong Dal Pakora Recipe

    When I was thinking for a quick recipe using lentils, I remembered this one which I saw long back ago in Tarla dalal cookbook. And I decided to do it. This is such a quick snack which you can make in no time. Actually in my style it is such an easy peasy recipe.

    It calls for minimal ingredients, but the taste is maximum. It has a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. You can have it with ketchup or any of the chat chutneys..You can check recipes of that here, here and here.

      Dear Arthi
      How are you? back in India , i am going through missed blogs. I love Mung dal fitters. The use of Dhania seed is a great idea, I must try it ASAP. Can I add 1 tbsp of rice flour? One of my southern foodie friends had advised to put a dash of rice flour in Medu Vada mix to make it surface crispy. Shall I add here too? I normally dont change original recipe in my 1st attempt and need your permission to do so..ha ha
      Have a nice weekend
