Ullundhu
Vadai
Ingredients
1 cup
uLLundhu (Urad daal)
4 to 6 green chillies (chopped)
1/2 inch ginger (grated and chopped)
1 cup water
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups
Oil (for frying)
1 medium onion (chopped) (optional)
1/2 head cabbage (small, chopped) (optional)
Method
1.
Soak uLLundhu for about three to five hours.
2.
Drain the water completely and grind till the
uLLundhu is just about broken in small pieces
(maAvu should NOT be too fine) the uLLundhu in the blender or food
processor with very little water as possible, to do this grind 1/2
a cup of uLLundhu at time.
3.
Mix chillies, ginger, salt and the vegetables (optional) to the
uLLundhu. You can
use just one onion or both onions and cabbage.
4.
Add the oil to heated wok (vaANali) and heat the oil on medium-high
heat for about three to five minutes.
5.
Wet the palm of one of your hands. Put the maAvu on the wet palm
and shape it like doughnut and drop it slowly into the oil and fry
till golden brown.
6.
If the shape doesn't matter to you, then
take the maAvu and drop into the oil using a
table-spoon (slightly oil the spoon before taking
the maAvu so it won't stick to the spoon).
You
can add two or three at a time depending on how much oil you have
in the vaANali.
