Masala Vada

MASALA VADA | Snacks
The personal favourites of the south Indians have got to be Samosa’s, Vada's and cutlets. Near every roadside stall that sells these yummy and divine snacks, the public can be found waiting in swarms. However, with the amount of spices and oil used, this is not so healthy if had often. Yet, our mind is fickle. It is known to divert from our thoughts and determinations often. And the tempting aroma of these dishes doesn't help either. So, the only way to keep ourselves satisfied is to find a healthy alternative. Here is a recipe for a vada that is also a bit healthy for our health. Why you ask? Because these are made with some nutritious foodgrains! So, let’s get our kitchen utensils ready!

Ingredients:
Chana dal - 1 cup (soaked for 2 hours)
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp.
Onions - 1 no. (finely chopped)
Green chilli - 1 no. (finely chopped)
Few Curry Leaves
Ginger - 1 small piece (finely chopped)
Few coriander leaves (finely chopped)
Salt

Method:
1. Soak the chana dal in enough water for at least 2 hours.
2. Strain the water and add the dal to a mixer.
Note: Make sure you take a handful of dal and keep aside.
3. Add fennel seeds to the mixer jar and pulse them to a coarse mixture.
4. Add the remaining chana dal, onions, green chillis, curry leaves, ginger, coriander leaves and salt to the mixture. Mix well.
5. Make flat patties from the mixture and deep fry them until they are a beautiful brown in colour.
