Moong Dal Vadai (Pasiparupu Vadai)

Moong Dal Vadai (Pasiparupu Vadai)

Thinking of preparing Parupu Vadai ?? (Aama Vadai or Masal vadai). Why don't you try this Moong Dal Vadai instead? 

I tasted this vadai for the first time in our college hostel. This vadai will be very much crispier and tastier than that of Channa Dal Vadai.  And Moong dal is also easy to digest,  so you won't feel very heavy, after eating this vadai.

Here goes the recipe..

Ingredients:

Moong Dal            - 1 cup (Pasi Parupu)

Chopped Ginger    - 1 tbsp

Red Chilli              - 2

Fennel Seeds         - 1 tsp (Sombu , Perunjeeragam)

Big Onion             - 1 

Mint Leaves          - few

Curry Leaves        - few

Salt                        - As required

Oil                         - For frying

Procedure:

• Wash and Soak Moong Dal in enough water for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, grind moong dal coarsely along with ginger, fennel seeds and red chillies. Add very very little water for grinding moong dal.
• Chop Big onion, Mint leaves and curry leaves.
• Add chopped onion, mint leaves and curry leaves to the ground moong dal.

• Heat oil in a frying pan. Take little batter and shape it in your palms and fry in oil.
• Remove excess oil and enjoy your vadai.
