How to make Ram Ladoo:
- Thoroughly rinse the soaked moong dal and drain the excess water. Add it to a grinding jar along with ginger, green chili, asafetida, cumin seeds and salt. Grind it to make a smooth paste, if it’s too difficult to grind then add 1-2 tbsp of water
- Transfer it to a bowl and beat it in one direction with a spoon or a whisk. Batter will become fluffy, it will take around 5 mins
- Heat oil in a pan or a kadai. When oil is hot start dropping the batter with a spoon or your fingertips to make small size pakoras
- Fry on a medium flame until light golden and crisp, drain on a kitchen paper towel and similarly make from rest of the batter
- Now take a bowl or a plate, place the pakoras, top it with grated radish and green chutney, sprinkle some chaat masala powder and roasted cumin powder. Your Ram Ladoo is ready, enjoy!!!
