Munch on some fried green gram , seasoned with a dash of salt and spice. I used to buy these Rajbhog snacks, like the spicy green vatana and like. I liked the taste a lot and wanted to try making this at home. I have tried with whole green gram. You can make similarly with green vatana too.Ingredients
1 cup - Whole green gram dal
Dash of - Red chili powder
Dash of - Garlic powder ( optional )
1 sprig - Curry leaves
Salt t taste
Oil to fry
Oil to fry
Method
1 ) Soak green gram dal in enough water overnight or till you see it's about to sprout. Wash, drain in a colander. Spread on a paper towel to completely dry out.
2 ) To a wok or kadai, add enough oil to deep fry. Once the oil is hot, add green gram dal in small batches and fry till crisp. Drain from oil and spread on plate lined with paper towel. Immediately sprinkle some salt and chili powder. Garlic powder does add to the taste. Add garlic powder, if you like garlic taste. Fry curry leaves, till it is crisp too. Drain and mix with fried green gram dal. Cool and then store in a container.
Serve with tea.

I tried to make these but they did not come out well. Some part were good, but others were very hard. Is there any special way of frying them or soaking them.
aashi : Sorry to know it didn't turn out well for you. Soaking time is important..as i said soak over night or till you can see its sprouting. Then when frying, oil has to be hot enough ( not smoking hot ).. so each time you are adding new batch to fry let the oil heat up, then add. Other than this.. this is something very easy to make and a tasty snack.
