Hanuman temple Vada

Hanuman temple Vada recipe


1 cup urad dal (whole black gram lentil)
1 tsp peppercorns crushed..
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp rice flour
1 tsp ghee (optional, replace with oil)
1/2 tsp salt (or as per taste)
Method

Soak the black lentil for at least 1 hour in water.



Drain the lentil well.Add the lentil to the processor and grind to a coarse paste. Add drops of water only if you are not able to grind it. Add peppercorns, salt, cumin seeds to the processor and grind it for few more seconds.
Take the batter in a bowl. Add rice flour and ghee to the mixture and blend it well with your hand.
Take a small piece of the batter and shape it into a small ball. Little small then lime. Place it on a greased plastic sheet (zip lock bag etc)
Grease your fingers to prevent the batter from sticking to your hand. Pat it gently.
Flatten it into a thin disc.
You can make a small hole in the middle with your finger. It is optional.
Slowly invert this plastic sheet onto your hands so that the disc falls easily onto your hands. This is possible only if you have greased the plastic well. You can alternatively use a wet cloth to pat the disc too. Drop this gently into a hot oil for deep frying. It should neither be too hot nor lukewarm. Keep it med-high.
Let it cook until it gets reddish golden color.



Remove and place it on a paper towel to drain of excess oil. These are crispy and yummy with a bite from peppercorns.
