Moong Dal Pakoda Recipe
Moong Dal Pakoda is one of the popular pakoda in Northern part, we can also call this moong dal vada or bada as it's made of dal and not besan (chickpeas flour).  Split green gram or chilka moong dal with onion and few more basic ingredients makes this delicious vadas.  Moong dal skin gives this vada/pakdoa crunchy outer layer, just how a pakoda should be.  It's also consume less time compare to other dal base vada or pakoda as soaking time is just 1 hour or even less for this pakores.

Popular during monsoon street hawkers sell hot mong dal pakoda with pipping hot tea makes the rain more fun I am sure you agree on this part.  In Delhi these moong dal pakoda with mint chutney and raddish is popular as street food.  If you have watched the movie ajab prem ki ghazab kahani, moong dal pakoda plays a good role in that :) Ranbir try to woo Katrina with these moong dal pakoda, ya it's out of context here but somehow I always remember the moong dal pakoda scenes from that movie.

Normally we can just munch on these pakodas without any chutney as such but then mint chutney, green chutney goes well and I normally make tamatar dhaniya chutney, it's the best combination with this pakoda we think than green or mint chutney and a cup of tea/coffee a bliss specially during this monsoon season now.
