Paripu vada just like the quintessential bhajji of the north India is very popular in south India. A popular snack for tea time.
Ingredients:
1 cup chana dal soaked for 2 hours and then drained
1/2 tsp sweet cumin or saunf
salt to taste
chopped half of an onion
chopped few sprigs of corriander
chopped curry leaves
finely chopped ginger
3 green chillies
3 dry red chillies
Refined vegetable oil for frying
Coarsely grind the chana dal with some salt and the red and green chillies. Use the pulse option on the grinder. The dough will not be runny but not tough either. Mix the dough with the other chopped items and hing. Make small balls .Using your palms, flatten balls to make vadas with a hole/depression at the centre. Fry till golden brown on both sides. Take out with slotted spoons and keep on paper napkins to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with chutney or ketchup. Tastes good even without accompaniment. Enjoy!
