Assalamoalaikum,
Palak and Moong Dal Pakodas
- 1 cup, yellow moong/mung dal
- ¾ cup, spinach, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp, coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp, fresh dil leaves (sepu bhaji)
- ½ tsp, turmeric powder
- ½ tsp, chili powder
- 1 nos, medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 to 2 nos, green chilies, finely chopped
- ½ tsp, ajwain (carom seeds)
- 1 tsp, cumin seeds
- Salt as per taste
- Oil for deep frying
PREPARATION:
- Wash and soak the dal for 3 to 4 hours.
- Drain the water and grind the dal to a coarse paste. Do not add water while grinding.
- In a bowl, add ground dal and all the remaining ingredients listed above except oil. Mix well.
- Heat sufficient oil in a deep kadhai/pan.
- Once the oil is hot, using your hand make a blob of the mixture and drop it very carefully. Make blob and fry them in batches for the whole mixture.
- Fry till they are golden brown and crisp. Do not fry them on very high heat as the pakodas will burn from outside and remain uncooked within.
- Take them out and drain them on absorbent towel.
- Enjoy with pudina chutney, raw mango chutney or chutney of your choice.
