Dal Moth Namkeen Recipe | easy homemade dalmoth namkeen – easy and quick snack recipe prepared using whole masoor dal

Dal moth namkeen is an easy-to-make and quick snack recipe. Whole masoor dal has to be soaked for 8-10 hours; this is the only pre-preparation that has to be done for this recipe. You can even soak it overnight. Rest of the procedure is pretty simple. We just need to fry masoor dal and season it with some basic spices – That’s it & our snack is ready.

We have added melon seeds (magaj seeds). If you want, you may even omit adding them. We have also added thin sev or may also call it nylon sev. You can adjust spices as per your taste.
