Indians and their love affair with moong dal needs no introduction. Moong dal is seen in various Indian preparations, be it delicious dal preparations, chila, halwas, papad, barfis, or soups. But there is one such stellar moong dal delight that has a huge fan following in north India - moong dal pakoda. Prepared using green gram dal (also known as dhuli moong dal) and green chillis, these delicious bite-sized snacks are sold on streets of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and even Madhya Pradesh.
Popularly known as Ram ladoos in Delhi and U.P., moong dal pakodas are best paired with chopped radish, pudina (mint) chutney and onion rings.
