Diwali Recipe- Healthy Snacks For Guests Moong Dal Namkeen

You will forget Haldiram's moong dal after having this homemade namkeen snack! This non-fried moong dal mixture is made with just 4 ingredients and in 10 minutes! Crispy crunchy moong dal mixture is made by roasting lentils in the microwave and then seasoning it with mild spices.

Ingredients

1 cup Moong dal
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Chilly powder
2 tsp Oil
Salt

Method

- Soak moong dal with baking soda for at least 2 hours.

- Drain the water and dry the dal completely using a kitchen towel. Spread on a plate and let it dry for 45 minutes to one hour.

- Place the dried dal in a microwave-safe flat dish (I used a flat glass dish). Add oil and mix it well. Microwave it on high for 8-10 minutes.

- The moong dal will get crunchy after 8 minutes. (Continue cooking it in the microwave till it gets crispy. Every microwave is different so monitor the cooking time)

- Now add salt, chilly powder, and turmeric powder to it.

- Mix it well. Allow it cool down completely and then transfer to an airtight container.
