Wash and soak the channa dhal for two to three hours. Drain the water completely and keep it aside.
Now grind channa dhal, fennel seeds, red chillies to a coarse mixture, make sure you don't make it in to a paste. You should be able to see the dhal here and there. Transfer it to a bowl.
Now add finely chopped onions, green chillies, garlic,ginger, coriander leaves, curry leaves, salt to the dhal and mix them together.
Do not add water, you can sprinkle some water when grinding the dhal if you think it is dry. It will look crumbly but you will be able to make vada's easily. Then make lemon sized ball out of the mixture, pat them on your palm to form a circle to medium thickness.
Heat oil in a pan and deep fry them until golden brown. Yes, now yummy yummy masala vadai is ready to be served.

Hi Priya,
ReplyDeleteI had tried masala vadai for evening snack following your recipe, was very delicious .Except that when I was trying to make the vadais by patting the mixture on my wet palm , some tend to break , I mean the exact size as yours was not achieved , was able to make smaller ones though .need your inputs as to why these vadais break when patting on the palm.
Hi Reshma,
DeleteThanks a lot for trying so many of my recipes. One thing for your vadais to break is probably your batter is very crumbly, next time try to grind it little more and sprinkle some water.One more thing Reshma, masala vadai is suppose to be really small in size, so your good and remember about the batter I mentioned...
