Moong Dal Mangore is a north Indian dish. They are sumptuous in taste. Moong Dal Mangore are really easy to cook snacks, can be served as starters in get together or as evening snacks. Whenever I cook Mangore, they just vanish off the table. You can cook them and give as kids tiffin or snacks tiffin for hubby. It takes some planning to cook as you have to soak beans before cooking.

They can be baked as well as fried. Baked Mangore will consume less oil and hence will be more healthy. I have shared below recipe for both the fried version and baked version. Apart from eating baked and fried Mangore, you can also make Dahi Mangore.
