This is definately looking different. Moong dal pakodis are so delicious that while making the chaat i am sure you will end up eating 2 3 pakodis even before you start having the chaat. The raddish gives a nice crunch and a fresh new taste to the regular chaats we have..

You must have had dahi vadas, but this is a dish with the same concept but totally different taste. The pakodis of yellow moong dal are so tasty that you can also have them just like that. But ya adding the curds, raddish, chutneys and masalas definitely intensify the taste. Especially the raddish, which gives a great crunch to this chaat.

I just happen to go by this recipe in the book. And its basically ram laddu that we enjoy on the streets of North India. Though it has little variations to it but I loved this recipe totally and variation of onions and heeng add that extra zing to the recipe. Perfect recipe and will leave you craving for more. And a sure shot hit in your chai parties or even as a snack. Moong dal and curds add protein and calcium content to the recipe in a most delicoius way.
