Fried Moong Dal

Fried Moong Dal is a savoury snack that is popular all over India. This crispy namkeen is made by deep-frying soaked moong dal and seasoning it with salt.
Although it sounds so simple, it has an awesome flavour that makes you want more! Make sure you remove the moong dal from the oil when it’s crisp but still golden yellow in colour. It should not turn brown. Serve this delicious Indian snack with tea. After cooling completely, you can store it in a dry, airtight container for a week.
