Masal Vadai

It is extremely difficult for me to say no to fried items. Even images of fried food would leave me mouthwatering. Aarthi's post on vazhapoo vadai is definitely one of that kind. I got inspired by her recipe and made quite a simpler version of that.

Ingredients:

Channa dal----1 cup

Red chillies-----3

Onion, finely chopped----1

Chopped green chillies----1 tsp

Ginger---1/4 inch

Saunf---1 tsp

Curry leaves---one sprig

Coriander leaves, chopped----2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Oil to fry

Method:

Wash and soak the dhal and red chillies for an hour.

Drain the water from the dal and grind coarsely along with ginger.

Try to avoid adding water while grinding. Maybe u can just sprinkle a little if required.

Once done, mix in onions, green chillies, saunf, coriander leaves, curry leaves and salt.

Divide the batter into equal sized balls.

Flatten each ball using your palm. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.

Serve with chutney or tomato ketchup.
