  11. 1 tsp Garam Masala

  12. 1/2 tsp red chilli powder

  13. 1/2 tsp black pepper powder

  14. 2 Green Chillies

  15. as needed Water

  16. 2 tsp Fresh Curry leaves chopped

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Soak Urad Dal for 4 to 5 hours or overnight and later drain the water. Now add the soaked urad dal & fenugreek seeds in a grinder. Add water as required. Make sure that the batter shouldn't be very thin. Grind them to smooth batter.


Step 2

Transfer the batter in a large bowl. Then add chopped curry leaves, coriander leaves, ginger, green chillies, cumin seeds, black pepper powder and red chilli powder, salt (as required) to the batter. Mix well.



Step 3

Now take a small bowl of water and apply some water from the bowl on your both hands. Take some batter in your hand from the bowl. Give it a round shape and with your thumb make a hole in the center. Or you can make on a plastic sheet or banana leaves also, but first you have to apply some oil or water to the sheet.


Step 4

Now in a wok/ kadhaai, heat oil on medium flame. Once the oil becomes hot, start adding vadas in kadhaai (Gently turn them). Fry them till they become crisp and golden.


Step 5

Once the vadas are golden brown in colour from both sides, transfer them on plate or bowl. Place kitchen tissues on bowl or plate to remove extra oil.


Step 6

Serve hot with Imli, coriander or Coconut Chutney or Sambhar. :) :)
