Masala Vada
By poisoneyes | April 11, 2008
This is a quite simple recipe. All you need is…
• Chana dal (Pachi chenaga pappu/chenaga bedalu)- 1 cup
• Yellow moong dal (Pesala pappy)- 2 tbsps
• Small Green chillies -5
• Grated fresh coconut- 2 tbsps (I used frozen coconut, just thawed it for 40 seconds in microwave)
• Ginger garlic paste- ½ tsp
• Onion -1 (chop it pretty small)
• Chopped cilantro- 1 tbsp
• Chopped dill- 2 tbsps
• Salt- 1 tsp ( add according to ur taste)
Soak chana dal and yellow moong dal together in water for 2 hours. Drain the dal, make sure there is absolutely no water left.
In a food processor grind coarsely the dal and green chilies together. Don’t make a paste out of it, Its important that you grind the dal coarsely.
Now to this dal and chillie mixture add the coconut, ginger garlic paste, finely chopped onion, salt, coriander and dil.
Heat oil in a deep skillet and fry the vadas.
Enjoy the vadas like an evening snack with a hot cup of tea. I think a fried snack and a cup of tea goes well together.
