Instructions
  1. Drain water completely from lentils. Grind lentils into a coarse paste. Do not use water while grinding.
  2. We have made coarse paste of both the lentils. In a large bowl, put Chana Dal paste, Moong Dal paste. A gentle reminder, we haven't used any water while grinding the lentils
  3. Add chopped Onions, curry leaves, green chilies, grated ginger, red chili powder, cumin seeds, asafoetida powder, chopped Coriander leaves. Add 1-tsp Salt in this batter mix and mix well.
  4. Dal Vada mixture is now ready. Apply some Oil on your palms. Take a small portion of mixture, roll into ball, flatten between palms and shape it like Vadas. Remember to fry the Vadas immediately.
  5. Heat Oil on medium heat. Lower the heat now and fry Vadas. Fry Vada on low heat from both sides. Fry until it becomes golden brown in color (5 mins). Remove from pan. Similarly, fry remaining Vadas.
  6. We can make 15-20 Vadas in these measurements. Let's serve the Vadas.
