Moong Dal pakoda is a delicacy of Rajasthan. It is prepared almost whole year but most commonly prepared during Holi. I rememeber in my childhood, my mom and her friends, all draped with colorful lehngas used to sit together in “Angana” enjoyed delicious pakoda with hot green chutney 
 and their non stop laughter. Moong dal pakoda is also prepared for family and guests in morning or evening snacks.
