The following ingredients have 4 Servings

• 2 Cups Moong Dal
• 3 Cups Water
• Salt (As Required)
• Oil (For Deep Frying)

Instruction

• Rinse the Moong dal 3 to 4 times well. Then soak it in 3 cups of water with 1/2 tsp of baking soda for 5 to 6 hours.
• After 6 hours, drain the water completely from the moong dal. Then, spread the moong dal in a cotton or muslin cloth. Air-dry it for 30 to 40 minutes and ensure there is no moisture, else the dal splutters while frying. Heat oil in a pan, then place a metal strainer over the oil and add little moong dal (you can fry it directly too, but using a metal strainer helps the frying easily)
• Fry it for 5 to 6 minutes in medium to high flame, till the bubbling sound reduce and the dal should turn golden colour on both sides.
• Drain it in a kitchen towel. Then, place another tissue over the fried dal and slightly press it, to remove the excess oil.
• To a mixing bowl, add the fried dal. When the dal is warm itself, add required salt and mix well. Once it cools down, store in an airtight container.Do try this Fried Moong Dal Recipe in your home during this lockdown time.
