Ulundhu Vadai
Ulundhu Vadai is a southindian speciality snack prepared from White whole Urad dal. They are soft inside and crunchy on the outside. Perfect evening time snack too
Instructions
Soak whole white urad dal for 4-5 hours
Rinse well for atleast 8-9 times until the water becomes clear
In grinder add urad dal and let it grind for atleast 20-25 minutes
Add 1/4 cup of water initially when it starts gridning and then add the remaining little by little at regular intervals.
The consistency of the batter should be smooth. It shouldn’t be too watery. I have mentioned approximate water quantity. Kindly check the texture of the batter pics below at every stage.
After approximately 20-25 minutes the batter will become smooth,fluffy and soft. At this stage remove it from grinder. Don’t add extra water to the batter.
Once the batter is ready add salt and hing. Beat it & keep swirling the batter clockwise direction for a minute or two.
Now add the chopped green chillies,jeera seeds ginger pieces, black pepper corns
-
Keep a bowl of fresh clean water nearby. Dip you hand in water and shape the Vadai in your palms.Make a hole in the centre
Once the oil is hot drop the vadais gently into oil
Deep fry the Vadais until they turn golden brown
Once they golden brown remove it from oil, drain extra oil in tissue
