Vada
Vada is a popular South Indian snack made from lentil or legume batter that is deep-fried to create a crispy and savory fritter. It is typically enjoyed with chutneys or sambar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups urad dal (black gram lentils)
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2-3 green chilies finely chopped
- 1 handful fresh curry leaves chopped
- 1 inch ginger grated
- Salt to taste
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Soak the urad dal in water for about 4-6 hours. Drain the water and grind the dal into a smooth paste using a little water as needed.
- Transfer the dal paste to a mixing bowl and add chopped onions, green chilies, curry leaves, grated ginger, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Wet your hands with water, take a small portion of the batter, shape it into a flat disc with a hole in the center to form the vada, and carefully slide it into the hot oil.
- Fry the vadas on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the vadas hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
- Enjoy!
