Musur Daler Bora

Musur daler bora, means red lentils fritters is always my favorite rainy day snack. Sometimes mom used to prepare when there is nothing as side dish for daal and rice. I prepared at home as evening snack and everybody liked it a lot and it is very easy to prepare too.

Ingredients::

• 2 cup musur daal / red lentils,
• 4-5 nos. green chillies,
• 1 dry red chilli ,
• 1 inch ginger, peeled
• 1/3 tsp turmeric powder,
• salt to taste,
• one cup chopped coriander leaves,
• 1 small size onion, coarsely chopped,
• oil to fry.

Method:::

1. First soak red lentils for atleast 4-5 hrs. Take out extra water from lentils and then make a smooth paste of ginger,salt , dry red chilli,turmeric powder and half of chopped onions without adding water.

2. Mix chopped coriander,chopped green chillies and rest of the chopped onions together. Keep aside for 15mins.

3. Heat sufficient oil in a frying pan. Take a handful of daal mixture and fry on medium flame carefully. Serve hot with tea.

Tips - Try to not use water while grinding the whole mixture, otherwise bora will scatter while frying. To avoid that, keep the whole mixture inside the refrigerator for overnight and then mix with freshly chopped coriander leaves and onions and then fry and serve hot.
