Methu Vadai





You Will Need,

urad dhal - 2 cups
green chillies - 5 or 6
salt to taste
onion - 1 big [ chopped finely]
curry leaves - 3 sprigs
oil - for deep frying

Method:

Soak the urad dhal just before 1/2 an hour [ to consume less oil and to enhance the taste].
Grind the dhal into a smooth dough along with the green chillies. Add required salt, finely chopped onions , curry leaves just before deep frying. Use a banana leaf or a plastic sheet to pat the vadas and to make a hole in the middle. Drop it in the oil slowly and carefully and cook in medium flame till golden brown. Place in a napkin and serve hot.

I love these wadas but I gave up making them at home when I tried making them for the first time and the oil started splattering and the wadas were splattered all over the kitchen roof - quite scary. So I normally buy them now. Any tip on avoiding that IF I try to make them again as your recipe sounds very simple and doesnt seem to need lot of preparations :-)

Use very less water while grinding the dough for the wadas.The dough should be thick and not watery, so that u can get the shape.It needs practise to get that hole in the middle..Ive experienced that splattering oil only when I made murukku but never with vadaas....so I stopped making murukku nowadays...the batter should also be smooth enough, so that it doesnt spalatter I guess.. hope u try one more time.. ALLTHE VERY BEST!!
