    Hi Sia,

    My compliments on a lovely and helpful blog! Last time I had tried your Mangalore Aloo Bonda recipe at a get together and it was a grand success. The Moong dal vada recipe sounds fantastic and want to try it out.
    I have a question though...
    if I make it a day before, what is the best way to reheat it before serving? Microwave, normal oven or deep fry again? Any ideas?

    hi Sia,

    in the method , it's not specified whether water from moong dal needs to be drained or not ?
    Should moong dal be then grinded ?

    and then mixed with rest of ingridents?

    thanks
