Paruppu Vadai


After a loooonnnnggggg breakkkkk, happy to come back to blogging. I take photos of what i cook regularly but never had time to blog. Now during this pandemic situation, I thought I should try to blog atleast couple days in a month and here is my recipe of paruppu vadi. I made this last week for our anniversary along with Peas pulav, panner butter masala, paal payasam. We ended up eating this during our chai time.

Ingredients
Chana dal - 1/2 cup
Split pea dal - 1/2 cup
Urad dal -  2 tbsp
Dry red chillies - 7
fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
Onions - 1 chopped
Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
Corainder leaves - handful
Salt as needed.
Asafoetida - 1/ 4 tsp.
Oil for frying

Method
Soak all dals for 2 to 3 hours.Drain all the water completely and grind it along with red chillies, fennel seeds,curry leaves into a coarse mixture. It is okay to take some dal and can be added to coarse mixture after grinding (which gives a nice crispy vadai). Chop onions and coriander leaves very fine and add to the vadai batter. Add salt and asafoetida and mix it well.

Take small balls and shape it and fry in the oil. Crispy Vadai is ready. Enjoy with your evening chai as a snack!
