CHATTAMBODE


This is a snack that my mom used to prepare on Sundays and we used to love it. My mom recently visited us and I requested her to prepare the same. It was just so delicious ......

Ingredients
2 cups + 3 tbsp Chana dal
1 cup chopped Dill leaves (sheppi or sabsige leaves) optional
1 big Onion chopped
1 tsp Chilli powder
1/2 tsp Haldi
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Method
Soak chana dal for 5-6 hours. Set aside 3 tbsp chana dal.

Grind chana dal coarsely with very little water (you can use the pulse button on the mixer). Take it out in a bowl. Add chopped dill leaves, onion, chilli powder, haldi and salt. Add 3 tbsp soaked chana dal at this point. (Tip- mix it at the time of deep frying or it becomes difficult to deep fry. You can cover with plastic wrap and keep it in fridge too)

Heat oil in a kadai. Mix the chana dal and other ingredients. Apply water on your palm. Take a small ball of this mixture and flatten it. Deep fry till golden.

Can be served with any sauce or chutney....I like to eat it just the way it is.....yum!
