Ingredients needed :

• Moong dhal (Pasi paruppu) - 1 cup
• Jeera - 1/2 tsp.
• Dried red chilli - 2 
• Hing powder 
• Salt
• Oil

Method :

Wash and soak moong dhal for 1 hour , then drain the excess water and take a blender and add the moong dhal + Jeera + dried red chilli and grind it coarsely by just sprinkling little water . Once done take it in a bowl and add salt , hing powder and mix it well ..

Heat a paniyaram pan and add oil in each hole and take a spoon of dough and drop it in the hole ...and allow it to cook well on both sides ...keep the flame in medium heat and cook it as it take time to cook inside.

Moong dhal pakoda is ready .

I am not sure about deep frying it ...If you wish you can do it . As I used this pakoda and made gravy as a side dish for chapathi will post the recipe soon.
