Steps

30 minutes

1

Soak the dal for at least 3 to 4 hours. Or better still overnight. I usually do that to maintain the spongy and the super soft texture of these awesome looking Vadas.
2

Grind it using minimum amount of water. The batter should be thick yet fluffy. Now add in all the other ingredients that are mentioned above. Mix well and set aside. Use your hands to mix it. It's always highly recommended by me because that way your Pakoras or Vadas will always turn out right. The heat of your hands will help in making the batter fluffy and perfect.
3

Heat enough Oil for frying on a low heat. Wet your hands. Take a small portion of the thick batter and make a dent or a depression in the centre with your thumb. And then slowly slide each of them in hot Oil carefully.
4

Fry few at a time until golden brown in colour on both the sides. Serve them piping hot alongside Coconut Chutney or Sambar. 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.
