Methi Garlic Pakoda Chaat step by step
- Methi Garlic Pakoda Fritters: Soak black-eyed beans, yellow moong dal and green moong dal for 7-8 hours or overnight. Then, drain and rinse the dal thoroughly and coarsely grind it with the ginger, green chilies, and a little bit of water. A food processor works best for this as we are looking for a coarse paste..
- Take out the paste into a large bowl. Mix in all the other ingredients..
- Heat up some oil in a heavy-bottom saucepan and form small balls of the mixture. The balls should be 1 inch in diameter or bite-sized..
- Once the oil is bubbling and slightly smoking, fry the pakodas on medium for 5-6 minutes until golden. Take the pakodas out on a plate lined with a towel or napkin to absorb any excess oil. To taste if the oil is hot, drop a small piece of the batter into the oil. If the oil is ready, the batter will float to the top and will not change it's colour immediately..
- Yogurt for Chaat: Mix everything together until well combined into a pouring consistency..
- Chilli-Garlic Chutney: Grind everything together into a thin paste and adjust seasoning to taste..
- Cilantro Chutney: Grind everything except the lemon juice into a fine paste using a food processor. Transfer to separate bowl and mix in the lemon juice..
- Chaat: In a small cup, make a layer of the yogurt dip and then place 2-3 places of pakodas on top or skewer them onto a small stick and place on top. Garnish with pomegranate, sev, chaat masala, boondi, green chutney, tamarind chutney, and the chilli garlic chutney and enjoy!.
