Crispy Fried Moong Dal Snack

Method :

Clean the Moong dal well before soaking.

Soak it in water for 3-4 Hrs with a pinch of baking soda and salt.

Wash it well and drain out the water completely. Take a nice thick cloth and spread moong dal over it, so that the moisture gets well  dried. It may take 30 Minutes.

By the time it gets dried heat oil in a pan. You need a stainless steel filter to fry the moong dal, if not nice wide ladle with small holes will be great. I used a filter.

Add some moong dal in the filter and just immerse it into the hot oil. Make sure the oil is hot at right temperature so that it doesn't burn the dal. It may take 6-8 minutes to turn nice crispy.

Transfer it to a paper towel to remove excess oil. And finally transfer it to a large bowl. Do the same with entire dal.

Finally add Pepper powder, Turmeric, Salt and asafoetida. Fry cashew in the same oil and garnish it.
Mix all ingredients together.

Allow it to cool down well. Store it in a air tight container for freshness.

Enjoy your today's tea with this moong dal snack.
