Moong Dal Vada – Quick and easy deep fried fritters made with yellow lentils, ginger, green chillies and coriander. Serve these fritters with a cup of hot ginger tea or use them to make a quick chaat.
Let’s see the recipe for these fritters now shall we?
INGREDIENTS
Serves – 4-5
- Moong Dal ( Yellow Lentils) – 1 cup
- Urad dal ( Black gram) – 2 tbsp ( optional)
- Green chillies – 3-4
- Ginger – 2 tbsp
- Coriander – ¼ cup
- Hing/Asafoetida – 1 small pinch
- Salt – To taste
- Oil – For deep frying
METHOD
1. In a container take 2 tbsp urad dal.
2. Add about 1 cup moong dal to the same container. Wash both the dals and soak them in sufficient water for about 1 to 1.5 hrs.
3. Drain and grind the soaked dals along with green chillies, ginger and coriander to a smooth batter without any water.
4. Once ground, mix with hands/whisk the batter to fluff it up a bit. Add salt and asafoetida.
5. Mix well and drop small amounts of batter into hot oil. Fry them till they are golden brown.

NOTES
- Adding urad dal is completely optional.
- Try to avoid adding water while grinding the batter. If needed just add 1 tbsp water before grinding
- The oil should not be too hot to avoid burning of the fritters.
