I named it baby vada !

Paruppu vada is a South Indian snack . I have tried making paruppu vada only once when I was in India . So this morning thought of making some for my husband so that he can munch it while watching tv in the evening  . I dint tell him that I have made it . Once he comes from office I  would say there is a surprise ! The first thing he will do would be opening the fridge, because normally I make so many sweets for him :) 

This is how you make ..

Ingredients to be soaked 

-One glass of Bengal gram 

-Half glass of Red lentils 

-6 dried red chillies 

-4 green chillies 

-Little curry leaves for taste 

Soak all the above overnight in the same vessel . 

Next day , put it in the mixi jar and grind it to a paste . Before that add required salt and a pinch of Asafoetida. 

Keep some oil to heat , and then make small balls with the paste and fry it in the oil . 

You can eat this vada with chili/ tomato ketchup. I guess everybody would have the ketchup your fridge . Or else it goes well with onion , tomato, coconut , mint chutney as well . 

So depends on what you want ! Ketchup or chutney ..

So this is how the vada looked  !!! I named it baby vada .I am planning to taste it with chilli /tomato ketchup and green chilli sauce .
