Рецепт Pappu Vadalu (Lentil Fritters) (Not Deep-fried)

by Uma

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Pigeon Peas (Red Gram, Toor Dal, Kandi Pappu)
• 1 cup Green Gram (Moong Dal, Pesara Pappu)
• 1 cup Bengal Gram (Chana Dal, Pachi Senaga Pappu)
• 1 cup Black Gram (Urad Dal, Minapa Pappu)
• 5 to 6 dry Red Chilies (or as required)
• ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
• Salt
• Oil
• Preparation:
• Soak
• all the dals separately in different bowls overnight in plenty of
• water. Next morning grind all the dals one by one until soft. Also grind
• the red chilies + cumin seeds along with the dals. The batter should be
• thick. Adjust salt.
• Heat
• an appam pan and pour ½ tsp oil in each groove. When the oil is hot,
• carefully drop spoonful of the batter (or just shape batches of batter
• into small patties and drop by hand) in each groove. Cover the appam pan

with a lid and keep the flame on medium-low.

After

some time, remove the lid and check if they turned golden brown on one

side. If yes, carefully flip them to fry on the other side. Use a skewer

or a fork to flip the fritters. Add little more oil if desired.

When both sides turn golden brown, transfer them to a paper towel to remove any excess oil.

Enjoy these delicious, crunchy vadas with ketchup or any other desired chutney.

Yummy!
