A famous South Indian snack with Leek. I added this vegetable because i wanted to add some Green Leafy Vegetables like Spring Onion Greens in these Vadas, but then i realized that Leek also is very much similar to them and is a milder version of them. Also I have made these Dal Vadas with Spring Onions already. And thus the end result was innovative awesome lip smacking hot Vadas with Leek. Try these Crispy Vadas for Iftaar or snack time in particular if it's easily available in the Indian markets when the situation gets better. Stay Safe! Stay Indoors!

Steps

35-40 minutes

1

Grind the Lentils with all the masalas except the Coriander Leaves and Leek. (Keep some soaked Lentils about 3-4 tablespoon aside.)
2

Later on mix the other ingredients, keep it aside along with the soaked whole dal. After mixing well, keep the dal batter aside to let the flavours infuse well. Shape them into small vadas and flatten them a little with your hands. Deep fry these vadas in a hot Oil on a low to medium high heat. (Care should be taken for the first 2 minutes and the vadas should be left undisturbed.)
3

After a minute or two, slowly turn them to the other side. Serve them hot with green chutney or any dip of your choice. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
