This is such an addictive snack that you can go on eating. Very simple cocktail pakodis made from the moong dal batter. They are crispy on the outside and soft inside.

Ginger/garlic ........... 1 tsp (optional)
Green chillies .... 2-3 (finely chopped)
Coriander leaves .. handful
Baking soda ..... a pinch
Asafoetida ....... a pinch
Salt ......... to taste
Oil .......... to fry


Method:
1. Soak the moong dal for 2-3 hours.
2. Grind it adding cumin seeds, ginger-garlic, green chillies and coriander leaves. Grind coarsely adding very little water.
3. Just before frying the pakodis, add the salt, asafoetida and baking soda.
4. Drop tiny pakodis in hot oil and fry until crisp and golden.
Serve hot with any chutney..they make a very good cocktail snack.
