Moongdal Vada


Prerequisite:
Moongdal soaked in water for about an hour.
Mixer/Blender

Moongdal bonda is a starter prepared using moongdal or split greengram dal. Thanks Suma for sharing this interesting recipe.

Ingredients used:
Four fistfuls of moongdal soaked in warm water for 1 hr ( if you want to prepare it quickly)
5 green chillies
5 peppercorns
Chopped drumstick/spinach leaves
1 teaspoon jeera/cumin seeds
Salt
Oil for deep frying

How to make:
Grind moongdal using very little water along with green chillies. In case it becomes watery, you could use a little bengal gram flour/besan. Coarsely grind cumin seeds, peppercorns and salt. Mix well. Add finely chopped drumstick leaves.
 Once the oil is hot, make small balls and deep fry. Crispy bonda is ready. Serve with coriander chutney or tomato ketchup.
