This is not the traditional way of making this vada I people usually add all whole whole spices I have altered it to suit my kids' tastes.

- Soak the dal for half hour , drain the water completely after half hour now the dal would be swollen up.
- Clean all other ingredients - peel ginger and onions, wash green chillies, curry leaves.
- Now add all the ingredients along with dal and coursely grind like shown in pic above.
- Pick small balls and flatten it using your palms.
- N o w heat oil in wok and fry vadas until golden.
Enjoy spicy hot vadas with hot tea.
Tips :
- IF you leave the water too much in the dal it will be too soggy and break.
- The mixture if too course also will break.
- Adjust the spices as per your taste i add them minimally for my kids.
