Tips to make perfect Moong Dal Namkeen Recipe:

Although we put little salt over Crispy Moong Dal Fry, if we add salt while soaking, dal absorbs salt as well as gives soft and crunchy flavor.
Use good quality dal which has no insects or pores in them.
Soaking for 2-4 hours gives soft texture, we can even put small quantity of soda.
While making this recipe it’s a good idea to have net ladle so that we can make perfectly fried dal.
Before deep fry, let dal dry under fan or else there might be chances of spluttering or absorption of oil.
When putting dal in net, always put in small quantity as oil will swell and come out of pan.
We can sprinkle homemade masala or spice powder or simply end up with sprinkling salt. Usually, people who love Haldiram moong dal namkeen will love to sprinkle only salt.
To remove oil traces, put fried dal over kitchen towel.
