Masala Vadai
The famous south Indian snack becomes unrecognisable in its new tava-cooked avatar! We have modified the traditional, deep-fried Masala Vadai recipe by adding iron and folic acid rich dill leaves, and tava-cooking the vadais. This delicious snack, made with chana dal is suitable for weight watchers and diabetics too, as it has a low glycemic index. Enjoy it with hot tea, and healthy green chutney for extra pep.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes.
Cooking Time: 10 minutes.
Makes 10 vadais.
1 cup soaked chana dal (split Bengal gram), refer handy tip
¼ cup finely chopped onions
¼ cup finely chopped dill leaves (shepu / suva bhaji)
1 tsp finely chopped green chillies
1 tsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun)
Salt to taste
1½ tsp oil for greasing and cooking
For serving
Healthy green chutney
1. Drain the chana dal and blend in a mixer to a coarse mixture without using water.
2. Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions and shape each portion into a 37 mm. (1½”) diameter flat round vadai.
4. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it lightly using ¼ tsp of oil.
5. Cook each vadai on a medium flame, using ⅛ tsp of oil, till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Serve immediately with healthy green chutney.
Handy tip:
The chana dal needs to be soaked for 3 hours.
