Channa dal vada ( pakoda )

Channa dal vada (pakoda) 

Tastes best  pakoda accompanied with hot coffee or tea. This vada is crispy n yummy. 1 of my favourite. Lets see what exactly goes into it to make it yummy and delicious . 

Ingredients :
channa dal 1 cup (soaked for 4-5 hours)
Fresh Sua ( hua) -1 cup finely chopped
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Jeera - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil to fry

Method :
soak channa dal for 4-5 hours
Finely chop sua and red chilli , grate coconot , remove water from dal completely n take it in a cloth .
Now grind dal, chilli n salt together. Grind it coarsely. Mix sua, coconot, and jeera . Shape the vada, and  deep fry them. Fry on low flame, should get cooked from inside.

Best served with coconot chutney, imli chutney , or a tea time snack .

Tip: dal should be grinded without water , channa dal has its own amount of water which comes out after grinding . To much of water spoils the wada and its very difficult to shape them too. Its very important to grind the dal coarsely because that makes the wada soft n crisp. Do not make a paste .
