Mixed Dal Masala Vada

Soak ½ cup of Chana dal, ½ cup of Toor dal, ½ cup of Moong dal, ½ cup of Urad dal in water in a bowl for 3-4 hrs. Drain the excess water and grind the dals to a coarse paste in whipper mode. Do not grind to a smooth paste and don’t add water. Add finely chopped 5-6 Green Chillies, a tsp of minced Ginger, finely chopped Onion, ¼ cup of finely chopped Coriander Leaves, a tsp of Curry Leaves, 2 tbsp of finely chopped Mint Leaves and mix well with the ground dal mixture.

Heat a cup of Oil in a pan for deep frying the vadas. Add a pinch of Baking Soda to the mixture and mix well. Wet your hands and take a small lemon size mixture and flatten it with hands and deep fry until golden brown in color over medium heat. Serve them hot with chutney/tomato sauce.

Notes: If your batter is very wet add a tbsp of rice flour to it and mix well and make vadas.
