Keerai (Spinach) Vadai

 

Ingredients

2 cup Kadalai paruppu/Channa dal/Bengal gram

1 tbs Rice flour

1 medium sized Onion finely chopped

2 Green chillies finely chopped

Small piece Ginger finely chopped

Bunch of Spinach finely chopped

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying

Preparation

Wash and soak the channa dal for 2-3 hours.

Take the soaked channa dal in a blender, add little water and grind it coarsely.

In a bowl take the grinded channa dal, rice flour, onions, green chillies, ginger,spinach, salt and mix it well.

Keep it for 10 minutes.

In a separate deep bottomed pan, take the oil and heat it.

Wet your fingers, take little batter and using your thumb lightly press the batter flat and slowly drop it in the oil.

Turn the vadai both sides for frying and when it turns brown and crisp remove it from the oil and place it in a paper towel so that the excess oil drains.

Serve it with coconut chutney/tomato sauce.
