Method of preparation

Protein rich evening snack for kids. I have added channa dal, tuvar dal,a little moong dal and whole urad dal. Soak all together for about 2 hours. Grind after draining water by adding green chilli, ginger, saunf and salt. I have added little water while grinding as the dals should cook well for kids easy digestion.

Once batter is ready add salt,chopped curry,coriander leaves,garlic, onion, ajwain and red amarnath leaves. I have made a smooth batter and tried frying into different interesting shapes by scoping with a small ladle. Fry till golden brown and spread on a kitchen paper napkin. Made a little coriander chutney to go with the pakodas. Kids loved it.

Variation
