CHANA DAL VADA/BENAL GRAM VADA/SENAGA PAPPU VADALU/ EASY SOUTH INDIAN TEA TIME SNACKS

Mostly i use bengal gram to make polis....(polelu/bakshyalu) For the first time i tried out these vadas recently........Actually iam in plan to make some healthy snack for my kid with dal..... So,finally this was the result i got......These vadas tastes really yumm and crunchy too..I used only onions in the batter......and grinded the dal coarsely..Completely its my own idea of making these vadas. And i know this is one of the very easy and simple recipe which you all knows....

Ingredients

bengal gram/senaga pappu-1cup

onion-1big

green chilli-4-5

salt-to taste

ginger-small piece

garlic pods-2(opt)

garam masala-1/4tsp

chat masala-1/2tsp(optional)

hing/asafoetida-2 pinches

Preparation

Wash and soak dal for 3-4hrs........drain water and grind coarsely......

Chop onion finely and chillies too......add to the dal mixture.....

Now add in all other ingredients except oil......

Mix well and 1/2-3/4cup of water and prepare like a thick batter.....(Don`t add too much water,else you can`t give a perfect shape.adjust the water level as need)

Now wet your palm and take 2spoons of batter and give a round shape and fry in the oil....

Fry in medium heat and drain on a paper towel to remove the excess of oil.....

Continue this process to the remaining batter and serve hot with ketchup or along with lunch..
