Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup moong dal
  • salt as per taste
  • oil for frying
  • water for soaking

Instructions
 

  • Soak moong dal in sufficient quantity of water for about 4 to 5 hours.
  • Drain the water in which moong dal was soaked.
  • Take a kitchen towel of reasonable size and spread the wet dal over it.
  • Let the moong dal turn little dry for about 30 minutes. Better place the towel over which moong dal has been spreaded under the fan for quick drying.
  • Rub the moong dal with the kitchen towel for more drying. Our purpose is just to dry the moong dal as maximum as possible. However it will still remain little wet but no worries.
  • Heat oil in a pan. The oil should be medium hot.
  • Take a wide sieve, add first batch of moong dal in it.*
  • Place the sieve in the middle of the oil and let the moong dal fry till it turns crunchy.
  • Shift the fried moong dal over a paper nepkin so that excess oil will be absorbed.
  • Likewise fry the whole portion of moong dal.
  • Add salt as per taste in the moong dal and mix well.*
  • When the dal turns completely cool, shift in some airtight container.
  • Enjoy with a cup of hot tea or otherwise whenever you feel like munching.

Notes

  1. We have fried moong dal in the hot oil through a sieve because moong dal is very small in size. If we directly add moong dal in the oil for frying, it could have been extremely difficult to recollect it after getting fried. But if you don't have a big sieve, you can add moong dal directly into the oil for frying.
  2. We have added only salt in the name of spices. But if you like, you can add red chilli powder and chat masala too. Choice is yours.
