Uzhunnuvada
Ingredients
Urad dal	2 cup	Soak in water for 4 hours
Onions	1 tbsp	Chop finely
Green chillies	4 nos	Finely chopped
Ginger	1 tsp	Finely chopped
Curry leaves	1 spring	Finely chopped
Pepper	1 tsp	Ground
Baking powder	¼ tsp
Salt	To taste
Oil	To fry

Preparation

Grind urad dal adding very little water. Add as little water as possible that too much water may affect the consistency of the paste and make it difficult to bring vada in expected form. ( you can compensate the problem by adding urad dal flour – too much may affect the taste ).

Now add onion, ginger, curry leaves, pepper and baking powder into the paste and mixtogether.

Wet your hands with water, make a ball of the paste, flatten it with the other hand and make a hole in the middle. ( the hole in the middle of the vada helps it to fry evenly ).

Heat oil in a deep pan. Drop the vadas in oil and deep fry till golden brown.

Serve with sambar and coconut chutney.
