Chana Dal Fritters

These fritters make for a super yummy snack. They have been made healthier by cooking them in an appe pan instead of a deep fryer. Cover the appe pan as you cook the fritters to ensure they are well done and uniformly cooked.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup chana dal, soaked overnight
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 green chilli
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
  • 2 tablespoons roasted suji (rawa)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1 tablespoon oil

METHOD

  • Grind the chana dal with the ginger, garlic and green chilli using very little water.
  • Now add the rawa, salt, chaat masala, chilli flakes, cumin powder and asafoetida and mix well.
  • Then add the tomatoes, onions and coriander and mix well.
  • Heat the appe pan and add a drop of oil in each groove.
  • Now, with 2 spoons, scoop out the batter like a falafel and add a scoop to each groove of the appe pan.
  • Cover the pan and let the batter cook from the inside. When it has a crisp underside, flip it gently and cook it on the other side too.
  • Serve hot with green chutney.
