Ingredients:
1/2 cup urad dal (split black lentils), 1 toughly chopped green chili, 1/2 tsp asafoetida (hing), 3/4 cup finely chopped cabbage, 1/2 cup finely chopped onions, 1 tbsp boiled green peas, 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander (dhania), salt to taste, oil for deep-frying.
Method :
-Clean, wash and soak the urad dal in enough water for at least 1 hour. Drain, add the chilies, asafoetida and 1/4th cup of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
-Add the cabbage, onions, peas, coriander and salt and mix well. Wet your fingers, take some batter and make a hole in the centre using your thumb. Slide the vada gently into the hot oil and deep-fry on a medium flame, till it turns golden brown in colour from all the sides. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 11 more vadas. Drain on absorbent paper.
