Makes:	10-15 Vadas
Preparation Time:	2 hrs
Cooking Time:	15 mins
Ingredients:	Chana Dal/Bengal Gram - 3 Cups
	Pinch of Turmeric Powder
	Salt
	Onions finely chopped - 2
	Oil for frying
	Green Chillies finely chopped - 2
	Few Curry Leaves chopped
	A handful of Coriander Leaves/Cilantro finely chopped
	Ginger grated - 1 tsp
	A pinch of Asafoetida
Method:	• Soak the Chana Dal in Water for about an hour and half or upto 2 hours. • Then grind together the Dal and Salt coarsely without adding any Water. • To this add Onions, Green Chillies, Ginger, Turmeric powder, Asafoetida, Curry Leaves, Coriander Leaves and mix them together. • Roll this into a ball and slightly flatten it on your palm. • Meanwhile heat Oil in a pan and drop these Vadas in the Oil and deep fry them till golden brown on both sides.

Testimonial:

"Dear Spices of India, Many thanks for a great service! I was brought up in Birmingham, home of the Balti, but moved to Cornwall 15 years ago. Gorgeous here it might be, but I missed my weekly Balti fix, and had to resort to making my own, usually from a jar, or the mass produced pastes available in supermarkets. All I could taste was vinegar, (not nice) but with the help of your website, and the availability of fresh ingredients, and authentic spices, and useful recipe tips, I'm now making my own curries, equal in taste and quality of any I've eaten in Birmingham restaurants. I ordered fresh greens, and other ingredients late Monday evening, and they arrived early Wednesday morning. My bunches of Methi leaves were green fresh, and fragrant, and in excellent condition. Well done!! A great service I will certainly be reccommending to friends and family."
