Moong Daal Pakoda- Crispy fried nuggets made with yellow lentil, fresh fenugreek and potatoes

Moong Daal Pakoda-During winter season we all  like to have hot and crispy snacks .This daal ka bhajiya or Vati daal na Bhajiya is a easy and popular snack in North India.These lentil  fritters are called as vadas in Southern India and in North India they as popular as bhajiya or pakoras.

To make Moong daal pakoda –

Yellow lentil or moong daal is soaked and ground and then few spices ,fresh chopped fenugreek leaves and potatoes are added in it and then small nuggets are dropped in hot oil and fried to make golden crisp pakodas /vadas .

You can also make these Moong daal bhajiya without fenugreek leaves if not available easily,and can also use chilkewali moong daal(split moong daal with skin) instead of yellow moong daal or use half of each daal.
