Cooking Tips

• Make sure to soak the lentils for at least 4-5 hours to ensure they are soft and easy to grind.
• You can adjust the spiciness of the bhajiyas by adding more or less green chilies.
• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the batter.
• To make the bhajiyas even more crispy, you can add a tablespoon of rice flour to the batter.

Storage and Serving

• Green Gram Bhajiya is best served hot and fresh.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the bhajiyas in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
• Serve with chutney or ketchup as a delicious snack or appetizer.
