Moong Dal and Oats Falafels/ Lentil and Oats Falafels

Like every other women,  I am too one of those who wears her thinking cap on, the Moment I open my eyes in morning.  Cooking is not at all difficult,  but to think what shall be cooked today is such critical task.. :-D

For me the most tedious part is the evening snack.  I take my 1.5 year old champ to play in the park and small evening walk everyday.  And he usually feels hungry once We are back from the walk.  I prefer giving him some healthy home made stuff to him instead of munchies like wafers or biscuits. 

One day while thinking of the evening snack,  I made these yummy, very healthy, very easy to make and awesome falafel.  These are so health and wholesome at days when your kids are not interested in meals,  you Can even serve them to your kids as wholesome meal.  Rich with protiens from lentils,  Fibre from oats,  calcium and protiens from paneer/cottage cheese and vitamins from fresh carrots..  Using minimum spices and cooking them I  paniyaram pan with just a brush of oil makes them all the more interesting.. :-)
