Ingredients:
Skinned whole urad dal - 1 cup
Green chilies -2
Raw rice -1/2 tsp
Fried gram- 1/2 tsp (pottu kadalai)
Salt -1 tsp flat (crystal salt) or as required. (If using table salt use less)
Plastic sheet or banana leaf for making vadas
Oil for deep frying.
Preparation Method:
Soak Urad dal along with 1/2 tsp rice and 1/2 tsp fried gram for half an hour and refrigerate it for 1 hour.Drain the water and grind it along with green chillies and salt to a smooth and soft batter without adding water.If needed you can sprinkle very little water now and then.It is better to use the wet grinder for grinding. Your batter is now ready. (tips- to find out if your batter is ready, dampen your hand and take a small ball of batter - it should not stick to your hands),Heat oil in a deep bottomed kadai.Now take a bowl of water, dampen your fingers in it, take a lemon sized vada batter and flatten it slightly on a plastic sheet or back of the banana leaf. Make a hole in the middle. Now slowly transfer the shaped dough to your hands and slip it into the hot oil very gently. (be very careful while doing this),Fry till it turns golden brown on both sides.Remove it from oil.Repeat the process. You can fry 3-4 vadas at a time depending on the size of your kadai and the amount of oil.
