Take 200 gms of Masoor Dal and wash them until water runs out clear. After washing the Masoor Dal soak them in water for 3-4 hours.

After the masoor dal / red lentil is well soaked for 3 hours, take the soaked masoor dal out and discard all the water using a mesh strainer.

When the water is discarded keep them aside. Now, take out the grinder to coarsely grind the masoor dal pakoda.

Now, put the masoor dal in the grinder and grind it to a coarse paste.

After the masoor dal is coarsely grind take it out in a bowl and add ¼ chopped onions, ½ cumin seeds, 2 chopped green chillies, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds in it.

After that add few crushed curry leaves, chopped coriander, salt to taste and a teaspoon of red chilli powder in the bowl.

After adding all the ingredients in the bowl, mix them all well together. After mixing the masoor dal paste and the ingredients together in the bowl keep the bowl aside.

Now, to make the pakoras, heat a medium sized wok and add oil in it.

When the oil starts to smoke then carefully take a spoonful of pakora batter (that we made previously) and pour it in the oil. Allow the masoor dal pakodas to fry till they become golden brown.

Take out the fried masoor dal pakodas in a plate.

Serve the hot and crispy pakoras with green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney and enjoy with your friends.
