Paruppu Killu Vadai | Moong Ki Daal Ka Pakora

August 28, 2013 By Sangeetha Priya 21 Comments

Happy Sri Krishna Janmashtami to all…Hope everyone is celebrating Krishna Jayanthi with favorite sweets and savories including butter :-). Here is a savory treat from my side on this special day. This Paruppu Killu Vadai | Moong Ki Daal Ka Pakora recipe is a good alternate to those who doesn’t like chana dal fritters. This moong dal vadas tastes good and can be shaped either as authentic round or small round balls or just sprinkle it to get crisp pakoda/pakoras (its called killu vadai in tamil from our side).

Updated the post with recent Picture to submit to Foodgawker 🙂

Ingredients

Split Moong Dal with or without skin (Pasi Paruppu) – 1 Cup
Red chili’s – 4-5 numbers Ginger – Small Piece
Garlic or Cumin – equivalent to ginger or 1 tsp
Chopped Onion/Shallot – 1/2 Cup
Chopped Curry and Coriander Leaves – 1/4 Cup

Rice Flour – 1- 2 tsp (for crispier pakoras, refer notes)

Also recently had this hot vadai with Sukku Kaapi and here is the picture of it.

  • சுக்கு மல்லி கருப்பட்டி காபி recipe Sukku Malli Karupatti Kappi Video Recipe

Method

  • Soak dal, red chili and cumin(if using) for 1 hour at least.
  • Drain the excess water using paper towel or cloth (Pic 1).
  • Grind the dhal to bit coarse paste along with ginger and garlic.
  • Add chopped onion, curry and coriander leaves.
  • Mix all together (Pic 2), adjust salt and add it as small balls in the hot oil as shown in below picture.
  • paruppu killu vadai moong dal ki pakora
  • Fry till golden brown, drain excess oil (Pic 3) and enjoy with hot coffee or tea :-).

Notes

  1. Make sure not to add water or too much of moisture while grinding the dal mixture.
  2. If the vada batter is bit moist then add little gram flour to bring to right consistency.
  3. Too much of gram flour reduces the crispiness.
  4. You can add a tsp of Rice Flour to the mixture to fix the batter as well, adding more rice flour gives more crispier pakoras 🙂

Variations

  1. You can add spinach or mint to get good flavor in vadas.
  2. On Nombu/Festival days you can skip garlic/onion as you like.
  3. You can add few chopped green chili’s as well.
  4. My grandma usually go for green split moong dal ie with skin, that even tastes better.
  5. They increase in size when added in oil so make sure to give enough room.

    Just love these little fried goodies. A dip into chili sauce will heighten the taste to another level.
