Pin Recipe Instructions
- Soak the three Dhal components (available in Indian / Asian stores) in water for 1 hour and allow to swell. Then pour over a sieve and drain well.
- Puree the soaked Dhal mixture with the red chili peppers to a pulp (mixer or food processor).
- Add salt, onion cubes, curry leaves, coriander leaves, green chili cubes asfoetida powder and ginger to the porridge / batter.
- Take a portion of the dough in your hand (a piece of moistened cling film can be helpful). Flatten a little (as with meatballs) so that a diameter of approx. 6 cm is reached, slide carefully into the hot oil and fry until golden-brown and crispy. You can also press a hole in the middle of the dough and get donut-like vadais.
- If you want the vadais to be less spicy, leave out the onions and ginger. This, classic, version is then no longer called Masala vadai, but Amai vadai.
- A few more etymological background information: Masala: spicy, spice mixture, vadai: donuts made from legumes. Dhal (also Dal) comes from Sanskrit and means split; the fruits are peeled and partly cut in half. This reduces the soaking time.
