Steps

20 mins

1

Wash your urad dal (split black lentils) until the water runs clear. When ready to cook, drain all the water from the soaked lentils. Add to the blender and grind without any water add green chilli and ginger (as far as possible). The idea is to grind to a coarse paste so make sure to scrape sides and grind in short bursts. If you absolutely must use water, add only a tbsp or so at a time to move things along.
2

Transfer the lentil mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the rice flour, coriander leaves, and salt to taste. It is very important not to over-mix the batter as you don't want it to lose the aeration from blending.
3

Heat oil in a frying pan to Form little dumplings (craggy edges are good) with an oiled spoon or your hands and drop into the hot oil. Fry until golden. Transfer on to a tissue paper to drain.
4

Serve hot.
