Moong Dal Pakoda Recipe

I love snacking on Moong dal Pakoda with my evening ginger tea whenever I get a chance. It is even perfect for an rainy day or to get cosy on a winter evening. Well, who needs a reason to snack on your favorites! I’m sharing aan easy recipe to make them with you all.

Check out the video to make Moong dal Pakoda:

 

It is important that you are consious about the edible oil you are using especially when deep frying snacks. Did you all know that peanut oil is famous around the world for cooking? My grandma always used to cook with groundnut oil or coconut oil for deep frying even Appalam! I have started using Idhayam Mantra groudnut oil and I believe that my family is eating healthier food. Peanut oil is famous for its higher smoke point which makes it ideal for deep frying snacks. I would not want my food to soak up that extra oil!

I would also want you all to remember that never refrigerate pakoda batter or vada batter. It will soak up more oil while deep frying. Eat fresh, stay fresh!

    This is such a lovely Tea time snack. Would definitely make some on a weekend when family is home. So easy to make and enjoyed with some yummy sauce or chutney too.
