# Method of Making...

1. Firstly, Wash and soak the chana dal with 2 spoon urad dal for 5 hours or over night.

2. Then place the soaked dal on a strainer so that all the water drain out from it.

3. After that, Before grinding the soaked dal in the mixer jar.... take out 2 table spoon whole dal from it and keep aside.
We will mix this whole dal in the grinded dal for better taste.

4. Now grind the dal in the mixer jar coarsely without adding water.

5. Take out the grinded dal in a big bowl and mix all the ingredients like....Green chili, ginger, chopped coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, pinch of asafoetida, ungrounded dal and salt to taste.

6. Take out a small portion from the mixture and round and flat it on your palm .
Prepare all the vadas like this and keep aside.

7. Heat a kadai with sufficient oil on medium high flame.

8. As the oil heats up well, now keep the flame on medium low and drop the vadas one by one.

9. As the vada becomes light brown from the side then flip it on the other side and fry it.

10. Fry all the vadas till nice golden brown on the medium flame and take out in a plate.

Healthy and tasty dal vada are ready to serve.

Enjoy it with ginger tea, coffee and sauce.

# Note...

1. For instant dal vada....Soak the dal in a fast boiling water and cover it.
Within 1 hour...You can grind the dal.

2. If you are going to fry vadas later...Then mix the salt later in the dal dough.... Otherwise it can be soggy.

3. Grind the dal coarsely.
Don't make a smooth paste.

4. There is a simple tip ...from avoiding the sticking of dal in the mixer jar...

Before grinding...Just add 2 spoon of water with few drops of oil in the mixer jar and ghirr the mixer for 30 seconds only.
Remove the water from it and then grind the dal.

By doing so....Your dal mixture will never stick in the mixer jar.

Thanku Friends,
