PARIPPU VADA (LENTIL FRITTERS)

Ingredients

  • Chana dal (split bengal gram/kadala parippu) – 2 multi cups
  • Onion (big) – 1 pc (finely chopped)
  • Green chili – 2-3 pcs (finely chopped)
  • Ginger – 1-2 tsp (finely chopped)
  • Fennel seeds – ¼ tsp (optional)
  • Curry leaves – 3-4 stems (finely chopped)
  • Kayam (asafoetida) – ⅛ tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – 1L (for deep frying)

Directions

MC-110

Soak chana dal in water for 2 hours. Drain the water completely. Make sure that the water is dried well, pat dry dal with a clean kitchen towel.

Crush the soaked and drained dal, just run it in mixer for a few seconds. Make sure you don’t grind it to a smooth paste. Add all ingredients except oil to the crushed dal and gently mix it together. Make small balls with the dal mix (gooseberry size).

Pour oil into the multicooker bowl. Press the “Menu” button, select the “Fry” program and press the “Start” button. Let the bowl heat for 5 minutes. When oil is very hot, add the vadas. Before adding to the oil, just flatten each ball in your palm. Wet your hands before flattening the dough. It is better to flatten the dough just before adding to the oil, otherwise it may break.

Fry till the vadas (fritters) become golden brown or if you like it extra crispy, fry till you get a darker shade of brown. Drain excess oil on a paper towel. Serve hot.
