Mixed dal Punugulu

Pesara punugulu is one of my fav items and they were one of the fav recipes one of my great aunts would make during the month of Ramadan. The green gram fritters (punugulu) once eaten, you will not feel hungry for some time. I don't know what it is but they will make you feel full for a long time. So during Ramadan fasting they are one of the best things to eat.

But today I made punugulu with 1/2 green gram and 1/2 black gram. They are quite delicious and they flew off the counter pretty fast.

Mixed Dal Punugulu (Black and green gram fritters)
Pesara Minapa Punugulu

Ingredients:
  1. 1/2 cup each of urad dal and green moong dal (green gram and split black gram)
  2. Oil for deep frying
  3. 3/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, ajwain (carom seeds)
  5. 1 green chilli chopped fine
  6. 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped ginger, baking soda (optional)
Soak both the dal separately overnight. Take the skins of as much as possible.

Grind them with as little water as possible. Mix all the ingredients together and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan. Drop spoonfuls of batter and fry for 5-6 minutes. Flipping 3-4 times. Drain and serve with coconut chutney
