| No matter what large variation of evening snacks we prepare these days, but the most loved snacks among all of us are still pakoras or deep fried fritters. The authentic way to prepare the batter is with besan/gram flour. I wanted a little change in the ingredients here so I prepared the batter with green moong dal atta/flour to make these pakoras. A little rice flour was also added which made them crispier. Any vegetables of your choice can be used to make these fritters. I have made them by dipping the potato-onion slices into moong dal batter and then deep fried till they had got their signature colour golden brown * If moong dal atta is not available to you, the batter can be made by grinding the overnight soaked green moong dal |
