These go really good with Evening Tea .when you don’t want to have something heavy switch to these petite moong dal bhajjis. The crushed peppercorns and coriander seeds give these crisp dumplings their characteristic flavour. It calls for minimal ingrediants, but the taste is maximum..It has a crispy exterior and fluffy interior..You can have it with ketchup or any of the chat chutneys..
I wanted to make this bhaji since a long time but today I made it in appam maker (photo below) to reduce the oil & reduce calories thus making diet moong dal bhajji.Pls note I had added 2 tsp of besan chickpea flour to pakodas you can skip the same .
