How to make it:
In an un-oiled pan fry the rice flour until it becomes warm. This gives crispier snack. Do not overheat the flour (when over heated the flour turns brown). Let it cool. Soak the moong dal in water for about 30 minutes. Drain the water. Heat oil in a deep bottom pan. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients and make into a soft dough by adding the right amount of water. On a plastic sheet of paper, take a ball of the dough and press with hands and make it flat. Release the dough from the plastic sheet and drop in oil carefully. Fry on both sides until it turns golden brown. Take on to a paper towel and drain excess oil. This is an easy snack that can be made in batches.
