Take 1 kg of rice and mix 100 gms of urad dal or black gram in it. Soak both of it in fresh water for three hours. Filter out the water and mince it in a grinder or mixer to grind it in a thick form.

In the dough add onion, garlic and ginger thinly crushed. Add a pinch of soda and 50 gms of besan in the thick dough to get the needed form and colour when fried. Beside this add a spoon of Ajwain and cumin seeds, which acts as a digestive enzyme.

When the oil is warm, you need to put the dough in the oil with fingers.Cook for 2 mins till the colour starts changing to golden brown. Flip the rice vada and cook for 2 more mins.Repeat the same with the remaining batter.

Serve it with tomato and chilli sauce.
