Paruppu Vadai






This one is my favourite Indian Snack.
Its very easy to make and consumes less oil. 
No guilts of gaining weight. Not much ;)


Ingredients:
  • Chana dhal/Bengal grams : 1 cup 
  • Onion - 1 chopped 
  • Curry leaves - 10-12 leaves chopped 
  • Coriander leaves - 20g chopped 
  • Red or Green chilly - 1 
  • Salt - 1tsp (Adjust to your taste) 
  • Vegetable/Sunflower oil - enough to deep fry

Method:
  1. Soak the dhal in water for 3 hours and grind it coarsely.
  2. In a bowl mix together the dhal along with the other ingredients.
  3. Mix water if required.
  4. It should be like a paste and you should be able to see a couple of whole dhal’s.
  5. Make discs like in the picture above and deep fry in hot oil 4 at a time until it turns brown on both the sides.
  6. Take them out and leave them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve them with coconut or munt chutney on a rainy day :)
