ngredients

2 cups toor dal
1 cup masoor dal

Mince the following:
Curry Leaves
Onions
Ginger
Green Chillies

Preparation

Wash and soak dals separately for four hours. Then DRAIN the dals in a colandar for 1 hour. There should be hardly any water left on the dal. If the dal is too wet the vada will break apart. Pat the dal dry with a paper towel. With a food processor, the grinding will be easy. Grind the dals separately and make a paste. In the last portion of your grinding (if you have a food processor) add the onions, ginger and curry leaves so they become minced further.

Combine the ground dals. Add salt and powdered red pepper for taste.

Shape into patties and deep fry.

  I love that my recipe is posted all over the web the past year. It just appeared in India Post and my mom just called me up and asked if I gave it out to anyone! Oh did I ever!
