Methods
Soak urad dal 2-3 hrs. Drain the water and grind the dal in blender using as little water as possible.
Take this urad dal batter in a bowl and add salt, grated ginger, green/red Chilies, crushed pepper, cumin seeds, asafoetida, chopped curry leaves, coriander leaves and onion.
Heat the oil for frying the vadas.
To give shape the vadas, wet your hand, take a small portion of batter on the palm your hand. Using the finger of your other hand or the thumb of the same hand, make a small hole in the center of the batter.
Gently put the batter into the hot oil. The vadas should be fried in medium heat.
Once the vadas get golden brown on one side, turn it and cook the other side. When the vada turns golden brown, remove it and let it rest on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
