Masala Vada / Paruppu vada

Masala vada

      Masala vada is a popular South Indian tea time snack. I prefer peas dal instead of Chana dal, because it tastes better. Hot Masala vada goes well with chutney and a perfect accompaniment for tea or coffee. 

INGREDIENTS :-

* Peas dal / vada paruppu :- 1 cup

* Onion - 1

* Garlic - 4 - 5 cloves

* Ginger - 1 inch piece

* Cinnamon - small piece

* Green chilli - 7

* Fennel seeds - 1 tsp

* Coriander leaves - 2 tbs

* Curry leaves - 2 sprig

* Salt - to taste

* Oil - for deep frying

METHOD :-

* Soak the peas dal or paruppu for 4 hours. 

* After 4 hours drain it. 

* To a mixer jar add garlic, ginger, green chilli, cinnamon, fennel seeds, curry leaves. 

* Grind it to a nice coarse paste without adding wate. Keep aside. 

* Take 2 tbs of soaked dal / paruppu and keep aside. 

* Then coarsely grind the remaining soaked dal without adding water in pulse mode. 

* Transfer this to a bowl then add 2 tbs soaked dal that we have already kept aside and coarsely grinded masala to this. 

* To this add chopped onion. Mix it well. 

* Then take a small portion from the batter.  

* Just roll it with your hand. And gently flatten it with your palm. (not too thick) 

* Heat oil. When the oil becomes hot gently drop the vadas. 

* Fry it till light golden brown color. 

* Follow the same process for all vadas. 

* Tasty masala vada is ready to serve. Serve hot with a cup of tea. 

ENJOY!!!!
