    Moong dal ke pakode

    ↓ Jump to Recipe

    'Pakode' or 'Pakore' are yummy fritters. They are one of the best known appetizers. We make so many types of bhajiye. No one can resist this finger food. We usually make it with besan or chickpea flour. We also make this from yellow 'moong dal' or skinned green gram legume. These fritters are called moong dal ke pakode. These skinned green gram fritters or 'mungodi' are very tasty.

    you can make a curry out of them. Serve them with mint chutney or ketchup. It is best served with ginger tea and tastes wonderful specially when it rains outside. You will fall in love with this Indian street food which is very famous around the states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi, once you make it at home.
