Ingredients (To Make 10 nos)
1 cup black gram (urad dal)
1 tsp finely chopped ginger
1/2 medium size onion, chopped (optional)
2 tbsp chopped carrot (Optional)
5 green chillies, finely chopped
A twig of curry leaves, roughly chopped
2 pinches of baking soda
Salt to tasteOil for deep frying
2 cups of water for soaking the black gram + a few table spoon of water for grinding if required
Preparation
1. Soak the urad dal in water for 30-40 minutes. (If you soak more than this time, it will absorb a lot of oil while frying).
2. Drain and grind the urad dal to a thick smooth batter. Avoid adding water as much as possible. Transfer the batter to a bowl.
3. To this batter add the chopped ginger, onion, carrot,green chillies, baking soda and salt and mix well. You have to use the batter right away to make the vada.
4. Heat oil in kadai in medium flame.
5. To make vadas, wet your hand and take a medium lemon size ball of batter on your hand. Give it a round shape and make a hole in the center using your thumb.
6. Once the oil is hot enough, slide these vadas carefully to the oil as soon as you make it.
7. Fry the vadas until they turn golden brown in color on both sides.
8. Take out the vadas from oil and drain them on kitchen towel.
Serve them hot/warm with coconut chutney.
