Steps

25 minutes

1

Measure both the dals using a measuring cup and add it in a wide bowl. Pour 2 to 3 cups of water and soak the dals for 3 to 5 hours.After 3 hours wash the dal for 2 to 3 times and drain the water completely.
2

I strongly recommend to grind the batter in a wet grinder. Grinding the batter in the wet grinder makes the vada fluffy and soft. Just sprinkle a tbsp of water while grinding. We have to grind it well as we grind for medu vada batter. Adjust grinding time to 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the fluffiness of the batter or if you drop a tbsp of batter in a cup of water it must float on the top.

After transferring the batter into the mixing bowl, add all the remaining ingredients. Rice flour is added to reduce the oil absorption. Mix them well with your palm and taste the batter for salt. If the batter appears watery, add some rice flour. Once you have mixed all the ingredients, you can start frying the vadas...

Heat the groundnut oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. When the oil is heated, wet your palm with water and take a small lemon sized balls and roll it with your palm twice to get a ball shaped vada. Gently drop the vadas in the hot oil. After few minutes, gently turn the vadas and fry them till golden brown.
