Ingredients

Instructions

1. Soak the whole urad dal in plenty of water for 4 to 5 hours, then drain.
2. Finely grind the cumin, peppercorns and salt together to a powder.
3. Add the dal and blend without water, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons water and blend to a coarse, thick, sticky paste.
4. Grease a foil, banana leaf or clean moist cloth, and dip your fingers in water.
5. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
6. Pat each ball into a very thin vada on the cloth using moist hands; keep them thin or they will not cook through.
7. Heat the ghee in a kadai or frying pan. Lift each vada onto your greased fingers and slide it into the hot ghee.
8. Fry over medium heat, turning once, until golden and crisp on both sides. If a vada puffs up, press it down with a spatula.
9. Drain on kitchen paper.
