Parippu Vada And Awards

Parippu vada is one of the common snack served with evening tea & is popular across kerala in thattukadas. My mom is an expert in making this & is my favorite snack.

Ingredients:
Toor Dal - 1 cup
Onion - 2 nos small (Chopped into fine pieces)
Green Chilly - 2 nos (Chopped into fine pieces)
Curry Leaves - 1 sprig (Chopped into fine pieces)
Turmeric Powder - 1/8 t spoon (a pinch)
Chilly Powder - 1/4 t spoon
Salt - To taste
Oil - 200 ml

Preparation:
  1. Soak toor dal for about half an hour. Then grind it using a blender without any water. Don't make it a smooth paste. 5-8 seconds will do.
  2. Then add turmeric powder, chilly powder, salt, chopped onions, green chillies and curry leaves and mix well.
  3. Heat a pan with oil.
  4. Make small balls out of the mix, flatten it, and fry it in oil.
  5. Delicious parippu vada is ready. It is a great evening snack.

Tips:
I normally prefer shallow frying. In case of shallow frying, you need to fry both sides of the vada.
