Moong Dal Vada
Ive been trying to experiment with differnt types of dal and so bought whole moong dal (the green colored dal with skin on). My first attempt with this dal was vada which came out pretty well.
Ingredients:
Moongdal(soaked for 2 hrs) - 1 cup
Channa dalia (powdered) - 1/2 cup
Ginger - 1/2 inch
Green chillies - 2
Onion (finely chopped) - 1/2
Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp
Curry leaves - 1 tbsp
Salt - as needed
Oil - for frying
Method:
Gring the moondal with ginger and green chillies and without adding any water. If you are using an Indian mixer this should grind fine, else you need to sprinkle little water to grind this into a coarse paste. Add chopped onions, coriander leaves, curry leaves and enough channa dalia powder to get the consistency of a stiff dough. Make lemon sized balls out of this, pat it into flat patties in your palm and deep fry it till golden brown. Serve as an evening snack or appetizer with chutney or sambar of your choice.
