How to make masala vada or masala vadai
Basic Information
Prep Time: 1 to 2 hours
Cook Time: Under 15 min
Serves: 2 people
Yield: Makes around 6-10 Vadais depending the shape and thickness
Ingredients
1/3 cup whole black gram dal (urad gota dal)
1/3 cup bengal gram dal (channa dal)
1/3 cup Pigeon peas (toor dal)
1 medium onion,chopped very fine
1 tsp Garam Masala
2-3 green chillies, sliced thinly (or as per taste)
2-3 dried red chillies (as per taste)
salt to taste
Method
1.Soak the 3 lentils in sufficient water (after cleaning in cold water) for at least 1 hour.
2.Drain the water well and blend it in a food processor. Make sure you add No water.
3.The consistency should be very thick. If you are not able to blend properly, then add few drops at a time. The ground mixture should be little coarse and you should be able to take it in your hands and shape them.
4.Now add rest of the ingredients to this mixture and stir until blended well.
5.Take a plastic sheet or small piece of banana leaf. I usually prefer banana leaf and by this we can avoid plastics in our kitchen :) Grease little with oil/water. If you are just a beginner cook, then add oil in order to avoid the water splattering the hot oil when you drop this batter. Take a little of the fritter mixture. Shape it into a round and press it flat on the sheet. oil your fingers to avoid it from sticking to your hands.
6.Now flip the plastic sheet to your hands so that the mixture drops smoothly on your fingers. You can put it directly to the oil if you are comfortable.
7.Drop this gently to hot oil and fry until both the sides is golden.
8.Place it in paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
9.Serve hot with any condiment of your choice or just by itself. Masala Vadai. It is excellent the minute it is made. So make sure you make them just few minutes before serving.
