Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Rinse the urad dal thoroughly under cold water.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
2
Soak the rinsed urad dal in fresh water for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
Yaklaşık 3 sa.
Aşçının notu: Soaking helps the dal soften and makes it easier to grind into a smooth batter.
3
Drain the soaked urad dal completely, ensuring no excess water remains.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
4
Transfer the drained urad dal to a blender or food processor.
5
Add water gradually and blend until you achieve a thick, smooth, and fluffy batter.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Use as little water as possible to keep the batter thick; a thick batter is crucial for crispy vadas.
6
Transfer the batter to a large bowl.
7
Stir in the green chili, ginger, curry leaf, onion, black peppercorn, and salt into the batter.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
8
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: To test the oil temperature, drop a small piece of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
9
Wet your hands with a little water to prevent sticking.
10
Take a small portion of the batter, flatten it slightly, and make a hole in the center with your thumb.
Aşçının notu: The hole helps the vada cook evenly.
11
Carefully slide the shaped vada into the hot oil.
12
Fry a few vadas at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: Flip them occasionally for even browning.
13
Remove the fried vadas with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
14
Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
