  3. While grinding add the green chillies, salt and a little water
  4. Once it becomes a soft paste, transfer the contents to a bowl
  5. Grind the pepper coarsely and add to the paste along with curry leaves and ginger
  6. Heat oil in a pan
  7. Take a greased sheet and place a small portion (lemon size) of the paste on it.
  8. Flatten into round shape and make a hole in the centre like a dough nut
  9. Slowly drop it into the pan so that the shape remains the same
  10. Repeat the same procedure and add two to three vadas into the pan according to the size of the pan and quantity of oil.
  11. Deep fry over medium heat until it turns golden brown and crispy
  12. Remove it and put it in a bowl with absorbent paper to remove excess oil

:) Serve hot with coconut chutney/ sambar.

Tips: You can soak urad dal in hot water for 20 mins to half an hour in a hot pack if you run short of time.
