Street Style chaat with Moong Dal Pakora

All south asians love to eat chaat (spicy street food) and if the chaat is good, it becomes a talking point for the party. When you talk about chaat, one starts craving it and mouth starts watering at the mention of it. 

This recipe is a healthier version of chaat because base batter is made from protein rich lentils. Although it is deep fried, if prepared properly, little oil is consumed.
