Life has become super busy these days. The week goes by quickly and the weekend even quicker. All this is eating up on my blogging time. There are a bunch of awards to be passed on, tag questions to be answered quite a few recipes to be posted....... hoping to get on track in a few weeks. How about you all? How much time can you devote for your blog on a daily basis? Let me know in your comments.
Well, getting to today's post.... I am sharing Moong dal and Aloo Pakoda recipe that I made for a recent potluck. It is super easy and delicious:
Well, getting to today's post.... I am sharing Moong dal and Aloo Pakoda recipe that I made for a recent potluck. It is super easy and delicious:
Wash and soak 1 cup split yellow moong dal for 5-6 hrs or overnight. Grind it in a mixer along with 1 inch piece of ginger, 2 green chillies, 2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, 6-8 curry leaves and salt to taste. To this add 2 small grated raw potatoes. Mix it properly and deep fry in oil till they are golden brown. You can eat them with ketchup or chutney. Just add a steaming cuppa tea/coffee, and you are in heaven :)
This recipe is my entry for MLLA # 30 guest hosted by my good friend Priya of Mharo Rajasthan's Recipes. This event was originally started by Susan.
Since it is a very easy recipe for beginners, I am also sending this as an entry for Taste of Pearl City's : Anyone can cook Event.
