Notes
Do NOT exceed soaking time, you will end up with mashed dal

Do NOT completely cook the mung dal. You cannot roast mashed up dal. Keep an eye always!

Slow roasting the dal ensures it crisps up really well

Drying up the dal is very important or they will not crisp up evenly

Sprinkle any kind of masala on top or serve just salted
