MOONG DAL NAMKEEN/HALDIRAM MOONG DAL/FRIED MOONG DAL


      Moong Dal Namkeen, most commonly found as Haldiram Brands Moong Dal Namkeen in the market is a tasty snack.  Crunchy yet a softness of this snack with a hint of Chat Masala and Salt is an absolute treat as a snacking dish. Moong Dal Namkeen serves as a wonderful Cocktail or Teatime Snack.
     Fried Moong Dal is a popular snack among Indians, this simple-sounding recipe is prepared by soaking Moong Dal so that if fluffs up & turns soft.  Soaked Moong Dal is fried until it turns into a golden yellow colour.  Sprinkle the deep fried Moong Dal with Salt and there you go with a tasty and crunchy snack, for more flavour and taste season it up with Chat Masala/Red Chilli Powder.  As we all love spicy snacks at home I have seasoned it with both of the above Masalas.
     In midst of posting a few of quick-fix Sweet & Savouries recipes which can be easily prepared for this festive season, I thought this Moong Dal Namkeen/Haldiram Moong Dal/Fried Moong Dal would be an easy last minute addition.  It is less time-consuming,  a very simple & straightforward recipe which can even be prepared by beginners.
