Instructions

Soak the Urad Dal:

Soak the urad dal for 1 to 2 hours in water. After soaking, drain the water.

Grind the Urad Dal:

In a mixer, grind the soaked urad dal to a smooth batter. Add only a little water if needed to get a thick, smooth consistency.

Add the pepper and salt to the batter, and mix well.

Shape the Vadas:

Apply some oil on a banana leaf or a ziplock cover to prevent sticking.

Take a small portion of the batter and shape it into a round vada. You can make a small hole in the center to get the traditional vada shape.

Deep Fry the Vadas:

Heat oil in a deep frying pan.

Once the oil is hot, gently slide the vadas into the oil and fry them on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Serve:

Drain the vadas on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.

Enjoy your crispy and delicious Urad Dal Vadas!
