Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chana Dal (Bengal Gram)
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- 2 units Green chillies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 500 ml Oil for frying
Instructions
Rinse the chana dal thoroughly under cold water and soak it in enough water for at least 2 to 3 hours or until soft.
Drain the soaked chana dal and transfer it to a blender. Add 1/2 cup of water gradually and blend into a smooth, thick batter.
Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl. To this batter, add rice flour and mix well to combine.
Add chopped green chillies, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin seeds, baking soda, and salt to the batter. Mix well.
Fold in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice into the batter to enhance the flavor.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Drop small spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the bhajias until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes per batch.
Remove the bhajias using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the fresh and hot daal bhajias with your favorite chutney or sauce as a delicious dairy-free snack.
