Steps
- 1
Firstly, soak the yellow moong dal in the warm water for the aforesaid given time period-
Next, wash it well post that time & blend it coarsely without adding any water to it or if at all required, not more than 1 tbsp-
2-3 times, scrape the sides of the blender jar to blend it nicely - 2
Take it out in a separate bowl: Add into the same now, one by one- All the aforementioned veggies, dry & wet spices & Masalas-
Mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended👇🏻 - 3
Heat up a frying pan over the medium-high flame initially, then reducing the flame to the medium-low while deep frying the pakoras for its even cooking-
At this point, add in a tbsp of the hot/warm oil to the mixture and mix well together for its enhanced tastes👇🏻 - 4
FYI: Please note that, I’ve not used in it a single bit of either the Besan, Rice Flour or even Baking Soda-
Despite that, it turned out absolutely fluffy & well cooked, immensely crunchy & tasteful 👇🏻 - 5
Fry them in a few batches- Depending on the size of your pan or kadhai- Don’t over crowd the same as it’ll spoil its crunchiness & will not be well cooked at all-
Also, maintain the flame always in moderation while frying them, while straining out- Raise the flame as it helps in less absorption of the oil 👇🏻 - 6
Strain them, place it in a separate plate lined up with an absorbent paper or a colander to take care of any excess oil remaining in them-
When all the batches are done with- Transfer them in a separate serving plate-
Sprinkle with some chat masala & black salt for that extra tang & tartness - 7
Dish out in the serving bowl/platter- Garnish it your own way & serve it hot with your favourite sauce/ketchup/dip/chutney, etc.
Now, time to simply enjoy the same with your favourite cuppa
Exactly that’s what I did this evening
