This is a very special steamed vada or dumplings Karnataka recipe. It's full of essential amino acids derived from the variety of lentils . I have added spinach to give it extra taste, colour and added nutrition. It can be made totally oil free too. It's ideal for diabetics, in weight management diets, for iron and protein supplement and for pregnant and lactating moms too.

Steps

25 minutes

1

Wash and soak the daals and rice separately for 6 hours. Add a pinch of asafoetida and turmeric while soaking. I added a green chilli too.
2

Drain and grind to a coarse paste along with all the other ingredients except coconut and lemon juice, using very little water. Adjust the salt and spices according to taste. Take the mixture in a bowl and add rest of the ingredients and knead a little. Keep covered.
3

Pour enough water in steamer or pressure cooker and allow to boil. Till the water boils, grease your palms with little oil and make dumplings from the mixture with lemon sized portions. Place a stand in the steamer or cooker at the bottom. Keep the dumplings on a greased plate lined with greased banana leaf, spinach leaves or muslin cloth. Place in pressure cooker without weight or in starker. Close the lid.
4

Steam for 15 minutes on medium flame. Switch off flame after that and allow them to rest outside the steamer for 10 minutes. Once they cool, serve with your favourite dip or coconut chutney as a teatime snack or breakfast side dish. Enjoy!
