Share

Description:

                  This vada can be a teatime snack/breakfast snack along with some masala dosa etc. Vadas are of different types and made with different ingredients as well.

Ingredients:

1. Urad dal - 1.5 cups

2. Crushed black pepper

3. Ginger

4. Green chili - 3

5. Asafoetida - pinch

6. Oil
7. Curry leaves

8. Salt to taste

Procedure:

                     Soak the Urad dal for almost 6-7 hours. Then drain off the water and grind the dal with very less water.  The lesser the water in the batter it will be easy to make the shape. . Chop the green chili and ginger into very small pieces. Now transfer the batter into a bowl,and add salt, pepper powder, green chillies, ginger and Asafoetida . Whip the batter throughly with a spoon.  Take the pan and pour oil for deep frying. Wet your hands and take a scoop of the batter in the hand. Make a small hole in the center of the batter and gently flip it into the oil. Allow both the sides of vadas to get medium golden brown color. Cook on low/medium heat. Repeat the same process for the remaining batter. Serve the hot vadas with chutney/dosa. I served the vadas with some sambar.  Just place the vadas in a serving plate and pour the sambar over it.
