URAD DAL VADA

Preparation Method :

• Soak dal for 20 minutes remove all water and grind into a fine paste with chillies, asafoetida and salt.
• Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
• Make certain the batter is very thick. Heat the oil and pat a little dough over a wet banana leaf, or a plastic sheet, holding it on the palm of the hand.
• Make a hole on the centre of the dough with the forefinger and drop it in the pre-heated oil.
• The dough will emit a sizzling sound and within seconds turn it over the other side.
• When it turns golden remove the vadai from the oil and lay it on a paper napkin spread on a plate.
• Serve these hot crispy vadais with chutney and sambhar.
