To make these moringa chips is pretty easy. This recipe was shared by @thegrubjournal on Instagram. Start by taking 200 grams of moringa drumsticks. Wash and let them dry. Now scrape the hard skin off the drumsticks. Cut the drumsticks into half and put them in a bowl. Now add chickpea flour (besan), rice flour, salt, chilli powder, and turmeric powder, over the cut moringa drumsticks and mix well. Add a little water to seal the flour around the sticks. Mix well so that the spices and ingredients are well coated over the drumsticks. In a pan, heat some oil on medium flame. Now add the coated drumsticks and cook them until golden brown. 

Remove from heat on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle some chaat masala over the moringa chips and enjoy!
