 INGREDIENTS

 

ROASTED GRAM DAL- 2 CUPS

RICE FLOUR- 1/4 CUP

CHOPPED ONIONS- 2 NOS

CHOPPED CORIANDER LEAVES- 1/2 CUP

CURRY LEAVES- 2 SPRIGS

CHOPPED GREEN CHILLIES ( Medium)- 2 NOS

GINGER GRATED- 1 TSP

RED CHILLI POWDER- 1/4 TSP

SALT TO TASTE

FENNEL SEEDS- 1 TSP

PROCEDURE

1. Dry roast the gram dal till crisp and allow it to cool. On cooling,grind to fine powder in a mixer jar.

2. In a wide bowl take the powder,rice flour and all the above cited ingredients. Also add 2 tsp of hot oil while mixing. It will lend a nice crispy texture to the vadai.

3. Sprinkle water carefully over the flours and mix to a tight dough. If the dough is soggy,your vadai will not be crispy. Divide the dough into equal balls.

4. On a clean plastic sheet,apply some oil and flatten the dough on it.

 

5. Heat oil in a pan. To check the temperature of oil,drop a small portion of the dough in oil. If it pops up immediately, then it is the right temperature for frying. If the piece of  dough sinks in the oil,then the oil is not hot enough. Always adhere to this method while,preparing any deep- fried dishes.

6. Now gently slide the flattened dough in oil . Fry on both the sides till it turns golden brown in colour.
