    To begin, soak the chana dal for 3-4 hours. Drain out the water and let it stand for at least half an hour.

    Grind the dal coarsely without adding any water. If you are using a mixer grinder, give it 4-5 pulses.

    To make the vada, shape the mixture into a lemon size ball and press it down between your palms. It should be thick in the middle and thinner on the edges. Prepare the other vadas similarly.

  5. 5

    Heat oil for deep frying. Deep fry the vadas on medium heat until golden brown and crisp.

  6. 6

    The Parippu Vadas are ready to serve. Serve them hot with your favorite chutneys.
