Who doesn’t love freshly made homemade Masoor Dal Moth Namkeen? I absolutely love to have Namkeen with my evening cup of chai. I am one of those who don’t understand the taste of sweet cookie with chai :P. Nothing like evening tea paired with something salty and spicy.

I loveeeee Dal Moth Namkeen and especially the one made with Masoor Dal. I had a packet of nylon sev lying in my kitchen stock and was thinking of using it in something. It randomly clicked why not make Dal Moth Namkeen from it. After a quick google search, the next thing I did was soaked Masoor Dal overnight.
The recipe of Masoor Dal Moth Namkeen is really simple. Soak the masoor dal overnight or for 5-6 hours. Dry it completely before frying on a kitchen towel or using tissues. Fry them in heated oil and once cooled down mix it with nylon sev and spices as per your preference.
