Green Moong Pakora : From My Mom’s Kitchen

Since my childhood Green Moong Pakora is one of my favorite snacks. Actually I didn’t like Dal (pulse) so much so my mom used to prepare these yummy, spicy, simple snacks of green moong so that I got the cereal nutrition along with a wholesome appetizer. 

Even today when after my delivery doctor advised me to take iron and protein in my diet my mom prepared me the snack and I really became nostalgic. Thanks to my mom for the recipe, hope I can do the same if my little princess also finds pulses not that savory.
