Store this in an air-tight container and this can be stored for at least a month. In India, you will find this namkeen in almost every household. In my house, it’s a must-have as everyone enjoys munching it with their tea. We all love eating it along with Dal Chawal too. 

Usually, we all get it from the local store or supermarket but then I and my Mom thought, why not give it a try and make this at home. And to our surprise, it came out A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-L-Y well. Perfect in taste and super easy to make just like the market bought. 

Do try this and your family will be surprised.

Instructions

1. Take half a Katori of Moong Dal.

   
2. Wash it with water at-least 2-3 times, so that it is properly cleaned and no dirt is left.

   
3. 
4. Once cleaned, soak Moong Dal in clean water with baking soda at-least for 30 minutes. I have soaked it for one hour.

   
5. After an hour, drain out the water.

   
6. Dry the dal over a clean kitchen cloth. Spread it evenly so that it dries out completely. It is very important to dry the dal as much as possible.

   
7. Place the Moong Dal in a Microwave flat dish.

   
8. Drizzle a little oil, mix well and microwave it on high for about 8-10 minutes.

   
9. Keep checking after every 15-30 seconds. Toss and turn with spoon. We want it to cook evenly.
10. The Moong Dal will get crunchy after 8 minutes and it will change the colour too.

    
11. You can keep it for few more minutes, depending if you feel its not cooked.
12. Take it out. Let it dry for few minutes.
13. Sprinkle Salt, Black pepper powder and red chilli powder.
14. Store it in air tight jars and munch it with Garma-Garam Chai
