Masoor Dal Vada

A yummy tea time dish! Of course if you dont have the patience and the time, the instant Gits masoor dal vada yields the same results...
soaks quite a bit of oil so its a rare indulgence but i realised, the thicker the batter, the less oil it soaks so definitely worth a try!

Ingredients

1 cup split unskinned moong dal
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
2 green chillies chopped
2 onions diced
1 tsp ginger paste
210 ml of water

Soak the moong for atleast 2 hours.
Grind it along with ginger paste and salt and 210ml of water
Add green chillies and onions without adding more water.
Consistency should be thick enough to shape into balls
Take a small ball of it and deep fry them in hot oil til golden brown.
Serve hot with onions and fried green chillies, corriander n mint chutney
