    For the final day of this edition, I am sharing another variety of fritters that can be offered as prasadam. This doesn't have onions and has Urad dal mixed in to make it more healthy. I already have another version of Moong Dal Fritters, that had onions. While today's recipe is slightly different. I also ended up making a curd version of the vadas.
    This edition things have been slow in happening. I am a day behind with my posts. I am happy that I managed to do all of them. I decided I got to gear myself better for the next edition. Let's see how things work out.

    Pesara Punukulu


    Ingredients Needed

    Moong Dal / Pesara pappu - 3/4 cup
    Urad Dal - 1/4 cup
    Green Chilies - 2 medium
    Ginger - 1"
    Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Oil for deep frying

    How to make the Punukulu

    Wash and soak the dals for 1 - 2 hrs.

    Drain and along with all the ingredients grind to a smooth paste. Add salt and make a thick paste.

    Heat a kadai with oil and drop in balls using a spoon. Cook on both sides and drain.

    Notes:

    Since the batter is sticking, it's always better to handle this with two spoons.

    Perugu Pesara Punukulu
    Ingredients Needed:
    Perugu Punukulu - fried 1 cup
    Thick Curds - 1 /2 cup
    Salt to taste
    Water - 1/2 cup
    After you make the moong dal fritters, soak them in hot water. Blend the curds to a thick paste by beating it with salt and water. Drain the moong dal fritters and soak in the curds.
