Onion vada.recipe..

INGREDIENTS :

Urad daal- 1cup

Onions - 2

Green chilis - 4

Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Cilantro - a few sprigs

Black peppercorns - 4 to 5

Salt - to taste

Ginger - 1 inch 

Oil - to fry

METHOD : 

Soak the urad daal for 4 to 5 hrs. Grind with very little water. The batter should be thick, so as to shape the vadas. If the batter is a bit runny, the vadas will turn out oily. Leave the batter in the refrigerator, until you are ready to make the vadas.

Finely chop all the other ingredients. Add these to the batter just before frying the vadas. The onions will make the batter runny, if left for longer. 

On a plastic sheet, take a golf ball sized dough, and flatten it. Dip your hands in water, to help with the shape. Make a small hole in the center, to ensure that the dough is cooked through.

Heat a pan with oil to fry the vadas. When the oil is heated through, drop the vadas in, 4 or 5 at a time and fry them till golden brown. Drain onto a paper towel. 

Serve with peanut or ginger chutney..
