Servings3 plates
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup urad dal
- 2 tablespoon big onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry leaves finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon whole pepper
- 1 cup hotel sambar
- salt to taste
FOR GARNISH:
- 2 tablespoon big onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
Instructions
- Rinse urad dal twice, then soak for 2 to 3 hours at least.
- Then add it to wet grinder & grind it with very little water to a thick batter. Scrap the sides every now and then.
- Grind it for at least 30mins. When you take a pinch of the batter and put it in water, it should float that’s the right consistency. The batter should be more like butter very smooth and light.
- Now transfer the batter to a mixing bowl, add chopped onion, curry leaves and whole pepper. Mix well. Add required salt.
- Now take a lemon sized ball, using your thumb finger make a small hole in the center like shown.
- Heat oil, add the vadai into the oil. Similarly make other vadais too. As I used my small kadai I fried only 2 vadais at a time. Fry till golden.
- Prepare all the vadais similarly and make it ready.
- Now take 1/4 cup sambar in a bowl, add little hot water and dilute it.
- Now add the prepared vadais into the diluted sambar, soak it for 2mins, then take it out and place it in the serving plate.
- Now pour thick hot sambar over it.
- Add chopped onion, sprinkle chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve Sambar Vada hot!
Notes
- Sambar should be neither thick nor runny, it should be in between.
- You can use leftover vadais too.
