These masoor dal pakodas are a much loved pakodas at an assamese home. Whether we eat as snacks or dipped in kadhi with rice this is indeed a tasty preparation yet so simple and easy to make. Our mom used to make them quite often for lunch at home. I am sure she makes it now as well only thing we both girls miss them now ..maa ke haath ka khana (mom's cooked food). How we used to grab 3-4 pakodas even before she finishes making them all.
Few weeks back only I made these pakodas to have in lunch after a long time actually. I was happy as it tasted much better than the previous batches of them I tried before. SO I thought to note this recipe down here and share with you all though it was with few variations of ingredients than mom's authentic recipe. Simple & Easy to prepare delicious snacks you can always serve as starter or munch them with your hot cuppa
