Ingredients
For the Fritters
- 1 cup Mung Bean green, split mung beans; soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
- 2 tbsp Ginger finely chopped
- 1-2 Chili adjust to your spice preference, finely chopped, green
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Salt to taste

Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Drain the soaked green moong dal and rinse thoroughly.
- Combine the drained dal, ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves, and salt in a blender.
- Blend into a smooth batter, adding a little water if needed to achieve a slightly thick consistency.
Cook the Fritters
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, spreading them gently to form small, thin fritters.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Remove the fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Fritters
- Soaking the dal is crucial for a smoother batter and better digestion. Soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. This will ensure even cooking and perfectly crispy fritters.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the batter.
