Steps

1

Collect the necessary materials. Place near the cooking area.
2

Collect the necessary materials. Place near the cooking area.
3

Soak the pulses, and rice in a bowl with plenty of water for ½ hour. Drain. Grind with ginger and red chilies to make a coarse fairly thick batter. Take out and put in a bowl, mix with spices, chopped coriander, and curry leaves. Salt to taste.
4

Heat oil in a kadai over medium low heat. Grease your palm; take 1/4c batter and flatten it. Carefully drop it in the hot oil. This will create lot of oil bubbles in the oil. After a couple of minutes turn the vadas with a slotted spoon to cook them evenly. After browning on both sides,(oil bubbles disappear)remove the fried vada with a slotted spoon, drain the oil, and place them on a paper towel. A paper towel will remove the oil from the surface of the vadas.
5

I made 10 Vadas. Transfer the vadas to a serving plate. Serve with your favorite chutney. chili sauce or ketchup. Enjoy with a cup of hot tea
