Ingredients

Serves : 3
  • 1 cup urad dal (split black gram), soaked overnight
  • 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. peppercorns, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp. grated ginger
  • 2-3 cups oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
  • 1-2 green chilies
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1 dry red chili
  • 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp. urad dal

  • 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 1/4 ts. pepper powder
  • 1/4 tsp. red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

  • Grind the soaked urad dal with very less water. Add salt, peppercorns, cumin seeds and ginger. Mix well and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Dip your hands in a bowl of water. Take a portion of the batter and give a round shape to it. Make a hole in the centre with your thumb.
  • Gently slide in the vada in hot oil and fry on a medium flame till it is golden and crisp. Immediately drop in a bowl of water and let them soak for a while. Then squeeze out the water by pressing in between your palms. Keep aside.
  • Grind the coconut and green chilies. Add in the yoghurt, some water to dilute it, salt, coriander leaves (save some for garnishing), grated carrot and chopped chili. Mix well.
  • Heat 1 tbsp. oil and temper with mustard seeds and dry red chili. After it stops spluttering, add the urad dal and curry leaves. Saute for a few seconds and switch off the flame.
