Moong Dal Vada Recipe is again a deep-fried vada recipe made with green moong dal and is a great snack recipe that can be made out of green moong dal. Moong dal can be used in various ways and it is one of the healthiest lentils which can be had in various ways.

As it is the time of rainy I just love to share snack recipes such as fritters so that my readers can make and have it during any gathering or with your family.

Moong Dal Vada recipe here is made with green moong dal or green gram which is a whole green gram and not the split one. It has been soaked for hours before making the actual vada.

I would love to share various moong dal recipes in the form of snacks or curries etc and update them on my blog as it is a very healthy ingredient. Vada recipes are quite common in South India and slowly are finding their way through out the country.

What can be a better day when we get to have hot snacks with a hot cup of tea. These can also be taken along with any sauce or ketchup.

The crispy texture outside and the wonderful look of the vadas is very appealing along with the good taste. The recipe is very simple with the basic ingredients and the main ingredient would be green moong dal with which we can make these delicious moong dal vada recipes.

Moong Dal Vada Recipe is something I also make it during iftar time in the month of Ramazan and I usually make different pakodas and vadas during the iftar time of Ramazan month...

Let us learn how to make the green dal vada recipe below which is made with whole green gram...
