Daal Fritters with Aaji's Lonsa
METHOD
-
1
Soak Masoor Daal in 2 cups of water for 1 hour and strain. Daal should be soft and no longer brittle. Using a food processor or immersion blender pulse daal until it’s a thick but smooth consistency. Add pinch of salt to daal puree.
-
2
Fold in parsley, red onion, scallions, and chopped veggies.
-
3
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Scoop 3 tbsp of fritter batter into hot oil and flatten with a slotted spatula. Fry for 5 min per side or until dark golden brown on each side. Work in batches to avoid crowding the pan and drain fritters on paper towels. Garnish with flaky salt and Paro Tarka. Enjoy with Aaji's Lonsa.
