Udina vada

When we move to a different country that's when we miss our food the most and we try cooking all our typical south Indian food which you could get so easily at the restaurant back in india.

One of our latest try at our kitchen was udina(urad dal) vada. Dint know it was this simple.

Ingredients:
Udina Bele(Urad Dal) quantity as per your need
Green Chili - 3, whole pepper - 6, Small pieces of Coconut, very little onion, Salt, oil

How to make it : 

• Soak the Udina Bele in water for 6 hours. Drain the water and wait until it Udina bele looks dry.
• Grind it to make a fine paste. Don't use any water. Try to grind it as thick as possible
• Finely chop the Green chilies and onion. Add it to the batter along with chopped or grated coconut, pepper and salt(as per your taste)
• If grinder is used skip this step.Mix or i can say beat the batter for a while to get the softness when the vada is deep fried. We only mixed it 1st and tried frying, it came out little hard. Vah re Vah helped us understand why our vada was little hard.

• Heat the oil. Put some water or oil to your hands. Watch the video below so see how to drop the batter into the oil and get the exact shape of how vada looks.
