Mixed Dal Soya Pakora

Today I experiment with soya chunks and I loved it very much. Everyone knows Pakoras are tasty fried snack which is very famous in India. You can enjoy it in the evening with a cup of tea. Normally it can be vegetable pakora, or you can add different ingredients like chicken, fish, paneer, kheema, etc. But this pakora is bit different and more healthy, used only soya and dal. I think the recipe name should be Mixed dal soya pakora. Let me know how it is..

Okay! before we jump on the procedure let me tell you some benefits of the Soya Chunks and the Masoor dal.

Soya Chunks are also famous with the name of Soya nuggets, nutri nuggets ... Always buy the fresh nutri nuggets, as they are healthy and full of vitamins. Soybeans are legumes that originated in East Asia. Soya chunks are made from soy beans.
