Ram Laddoo | Moong Dal Fritters
Method

1. Drain all the water from the dal.
2. Grind the dal to a smooth batter along with green chilies and ginger. Do not use any water while grinding.
3. Whip the batter nicely using a spoon for about 10 minutes so that air is incorporated and laddoos come out soft and fluffy on frying.
4. In the meanwhile, keep oil to heat in a kadhai (wok).
5. Just before frying, add in salt and eno fruit salt to the batter and give a quick mix.
6. Now, using your hand or a spoon drop a little batter at a time in the medium hot oil. Fry the pakoras till they turn little golden from all sides. Do not overcrowd the kadhai.
7. Drain them out on a kitchen towel.
8. For assembly, place 5 to 6 pakoras in a plate. Sprinkle them with chaat masala, black salt, cumin powder and red chili powder. Next, top up with handful of grated radish, chopped coriander and pomegranate seeds. In the end, drizzle some green and tamarind chutney.
9. Serve hot along with some chai/tea.
