Makes about 10 small vadas
- Soak 0.5 cup of Channa Dhal for about 5 hours
- Drain the dhal completely
- In a mixie, put 1tsp of cumin seeds, 1 small red chilly, soaked dhal
- Coarse grind the mix without adding any water
- In a bowl add a quarter of a medium size onion, 1 small green chilly (chopped), few cilantro leaves, few curry leaves, salt per taste
- Toss the dhal and mix well
- Make small balls and flatten them in the vada shape
- Deep fry in hot oil for about 7 mins or until the vadas turn golden brown
- Tips: You have to coarse grind the dhal so that few dhals remain whole.
- Serve as is or with some chutney and chai
Thanks for the recipe. It was very tasty. My hubby loved it.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeleteAdd 1 small stick of cinnamon while grinding cumin the masaal vadaa gives a very nice smell and flavour
hi... For a different experience, try out shredding cabbage and add it instead of the onion. It tastes excellent...
