Love this vadai with my afternoon tea. Yummmm! This recipe goes to MLLA-19 which is being hosted by EC of Simple Indian Food and Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook.
Ingredients:-
1 cup (large) channa dal/Bengal gram
Chop half an onion (medium /small size depending on taste)
Garlic (optional)-2-3 pods
Whole red chilli-5-6
Baby spinash leaves-7-8 finely chopped
3-4 Saunf/fennel seeds
Method:-
Clean and soak the dal /gram for 1 hr.Drain the water from dal/gram. Take out 2 tbl spns and keep it aside.
Grind the rest coarsely with garlic, red chillies and saunf/fennel seeds. Use as little water as possible to grind.
Mix the 2 tble spn of dal/gram that was kept aside, onions and chopped spinach leaves with the ground paste. This paste/batter should be thick in consistency so that you can shape and fry them.
Add salt to taste.
Heat enough oil to deep fry. Keep the flame at medium.
Take 2 tbl spns of the paste and flatten them into a round, patties type shape (you can even fry them as round balls-your call!. You can even use an ice-cream scoop to drop the batter as well)
Deep fry till golden brown on both sides and they should be cooked inside.
Serve hot with sauce or chutney.
