Instructions
Prepare the Moong Dal
- Wash and soak the moong dal in water for 30 minutes.
- Drain the dal and transfer it to a saucepan. Add 3 cups of water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the dal is soft and forms a thick paste (about 20-25 minutes).
- While the dal simmers, fry the whole dried red chilies in 1 tablespoon of ghee until fragrant and slightly browned. Set aside.
- Once the dal is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the roasted cumin powder.
Prepare the Fried Potatoes
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and salt. Fry until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally (about 10-12 minutes).
- Remove the potatoes from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Chaat
- In a serving bowl, add the cooked moong dal. Garnish with the fried potatoes, fried red chilies, black salt, red chili powder, chopped onion, lemon juice, and ghee.
- Finally, garnish with chopped green chilies and chaat masala.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Moong Dal Chaat:
- For extra flavor, lightly roast the cumin seeds before powdering them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes; this ensures even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder and green chilies according to your spice preference.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. The crispy potatoes are best enjoyed fresh from the pan.
