Steps

1

To prepare the daal, soak it overnight so that you can remove the skin easily. Once skin is removed and daal is washed clean, set aside
2

In a blender, add the daal and all other ingredients and blend until mixture is smooth. Its okay if its slightly grainy
3

Pour mixture in a thin sieve and allow to rest for about 30 minutes so as to drain excess water
4

In a deep frying pan over high heat, in heated oil scoop a tsp of the bhajia mixture into your hand and make small balls and drop into hot oil to fry. Repeat until frying pan has enough bhajias (do not overcrowd frying pan).
5

Cook until bhajias are brown. Remove from oil and drain in paper towel.
6

Serve warm with coconut+mint chutney.
