    Crispy and Flavorful Daal Pakoras

    Introduction

    Daal Pakoras are a popular Indian snack or appetizer made with a batter of lentils, spices, and herbs. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them a delicious and satisfying treat. Let's dive into the recipe!

    Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup yellow moong dal
    • 1/2 cup dehulled urad dal
    • 1/4 cup chana dal
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • A dash of asafoetida (heeng)
    • Salt to taste
    • 1/2 tablespoon red chili flakes
    • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
    • 1 inch ginger, grated
    • Water to make a paste
    • Cooking oil as needed

    Instructions:

    1. Soak the lentils: Soak the yellow moong dal, dehulled urad dal, and chana dal in water for 5-6 hours or overnight.
    2. Make the batter: Drain the soaked lentils and grind them into a smooth paste along with the ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, red chili flakes, asafoetida, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil.
    3. Adjust the consistency: The batter should be thick but pourable. Add water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
    4. Prepare the pakoras: Grease a doughnut tray and pour the batter into the molds.
    5. Bake the pakoras: Bake the pakoras in a preheated oven at 420°F (215°C) for 10 minutes.
    6. Flip and bake: Carefully flip the pakoras and sprinkle more oil on the other side. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
    7. Serve: Let the pakoras cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with a delicious amla chutney (Indian gooseberry chutney).

    Tips:

    • For a crispier texture, let the pakoras cool completely before serving.
    • You can also fry the pakoras in hot oil for a different texture.
    • Experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your pakoras.
