Easy Protein-Rich Moong Dal Nuggets Snack

Moong Dal Nuggets Recipe

Moong Dal Nuggets are a protein-rich and easy-to-make snack. You can add vegetables along with green and yellow moong dal. They are also a great option to serve guests.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup yellow moong dal

1/2 cup green moong dal

Salt to taste

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 green chillies, finely chopped

1/4 cup carrot, finely chopped

6–7 curry leaves

1 cup bread crumbs

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp chaat masala

1/2 tsp cumin

2 tbsp cornflour

2 tsp oil

Instructions:

Mix yellow and green moong dal. Wash them and soak for 2–3 hours.

Cook the soaked dal in water until it is half-cooked. Let it cool.

Keep 2 tablespoons of dal aside. Grind the rest in a mixer to make a smooth paste.

In a bowl, mix the ground dal with chopped vegetables, spices, bread crumbs, and cornflour to make a dough.

Shape the dough into small nuggets. Preheat an air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the nuggets in the basket, brush with oil, and bake for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

Optional: You can also deep fry the nuggets in oil instead of air frying.

Serve hot as a tasty snack!
