Green Moong Vada | Pacha Payiru Vadai, a perfect snack for a nice evening. For parties or for any potluck, we can make this wonderful snack. Normally we use channa dal for vada, but here we are using whole Green Moong. Moong beans are high in important vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. Sprouted moong beans contain fewer calories but have more antioxidants and amino acids.
