Here is what you'll need!

Soaked urad dal 1 cup

Chopped cilantro / dhonia pata 3 tbsp

Chopped curry leaves 1 tbsp

Black pepper 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds 1 tsp

Chopped onion 1/4 cup

Green chili 3-4 pcs

Salt to taste

Baking soda 1/4 tsp

Instructions:

1. Soak the urad dal for an hour.

2. Blend for a few minutes to obtain a smooth dough. Add a tablespoon of water from time to time to prevent the mixer from getting stuck or overheat.

3. Transfer the blended urad dal to a bowl and add all the ingredients except baking soda.

4. Once all the ingredients mixed well with the dal add 1/4 tsp of baking soda.

5. Soak one hand in the bowl of water and immediately take a small piece of dough.

While keeping this piece of dough in the palm of your hand, use the thumb to make a hole in the middle.

6. Fry over medium heat. Turn vadais and fry until both sides turn golden and crisp.

7. Enjoy!
