These yummy and irresistible Vadas made with Split Green Gram or Hari Moong Chilka exactly like those of South Indian style Parippu Vadas or Bengal Gram Vadas were a super delicious treat at Iftaar meals by me.
These little beauties were absolutely flavourful and aromatic and were an instant hit.
The rest of the ingredients are the same as in the original recipe. Not only did these turn out yum, they looked equally gorgeous.
Crisp and crunchy, absolutely beautiful in colour, these Vadas have turned out perfect in every way.

Indulge in these beautiful looking Vadas on any day at Shaam ki Chai or even on festive occasions and special days making your evenings a lovable affair.
Happy Iftaar Time!
Ramadan Mubarak to all my friends on Cookpad both in India and outside the Country.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Soak split green gram overnight, then drain well. Reserve two tablespoons of it to use later.
2

Coarsely grind green gram without water. If needed add a tablespoon of it.
3

Mix in onion, green chillies, salt, ginger, garlic, curry leaves, coriander leaves, turmeric, crushed coriander seeds and red chilli powder. Red chilli powder is optional. Also add the reserved gram to the mix.
4

Shape them into small vadas and flatten a little with your hands. Deep fry them in hot oil on a low to medium flame. (Care should be taken for the first 2 minutes and the vadas should be left undisturbed.)
5

Drain on paper towels and serve sizzling hot alongside any Indian Chutney of your choice. Enjoy

Tips

For extra crispiness, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the Vadas.

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.
