Moong Dal and Moringa leaf Vada

Ingredients

2 cups yellow moong dal
1 cup moringa leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 inch piece ginger
4-5 green chillies
1 tsp Asafoetida powder (kayam)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste

Method

Coarsely grind the soaked dal in batches adding as little water as possible.Take care Not to grind to a fine paste. The batter must be thick and corse.
Transfer the batter to a bowl and whip for 4-5 mins until the batter is frothy. Whipping the batter makes the vadas soft and fluffy.


Mince together onions, ginger, green chillies and cleaned moringa leaves in a food chopper.


Add this mixture, asafoetida, salt and turmeric powder to the thick batter.
Whip well for a few minutes.


Heat a pan with some oil for shallow frying.
Take spoonfuls of batter onto the palm of your hand to form vadas.

Shallow-fry on low-medium heat till the vadas are crispy and golden brown.
Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
