Potato bhajias or pakoras are the favourites when the evening is bit wet or cold. They even are the favourite starters when a guest is being called for dinner. But, what if it rains for some continous evenings or what if you call the same guest again for dinner after some time. You require something different though maintaining the legacy of pakoras or bhajias. Make moong dal vadas and taste the difference.
Ingredients
- Green moong dal: 1/2 kgs
- Cauliflower: 250 gms cut into very fine pieces
- Onion: 250 gms cut into square pieces
- Green peas: 200 gms
- Ginger: 50 gms either grated or cut into very fine pieces
- Green chillies: as per taste
- Potatoes: 2 or 3 medium size cut into small pieces
- Red chilli powder: as per taste
- Salt: as per taste
- Grind the dal in mixer coarsely (not very fine)
- Mix it with 3 cups of water to form a thick batter
- Mix all the above ingredients along with the dry masalas
- Give them oval shape
- Deep fry them till they are golden brown
- Serve hot with green chutney (see recipe below)

What to take care of while making? I know that it is very easy for things to go wrong.
[1] The paste becomes thin thereby causes issues with the vada shape
[2] The vada turning hard.
How to avoid those. Please try to address these in the gotchas section of the recipe.
