1. Soak dhal for 1 - 2 hours and later drain water. Here toor dhal has been used. Can use a food processor to coarsely grind the dhals as it should not be ground to a fine paste. If using mixie too see to that it is not ground to a fine paste, just grind coarsely. Peel and grate beetroot and add all the ingredients(dhal, beetroot, salt, green chillies, ginger, hing, curry leaves) and mix well.
2. Heat oil for deep frying and take the mix and drop in as pakoda's in small batches.
3. Deep fry till they are cooked and nice crisp like pakoda. Drain them and serve hot.

1. Can use besan(chickpeas flour/kadalai maavu) in place of soaking dhals. But this is the way they do it in my native.
