Ingredients:
Whole black gram (with skin) - 1.5 cups
Onion - 1 (chopped)
Ginger - 3/4 inch (chopped)
Green chillies - 2 (long)
Spinach - few (chopped)
Coriander leaves - few (chopped)
Pepper (crushed after measurement) - 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. (optional)
Salt (to taste)
Oil (to deep fry)



Method:
Wash and soak black grams for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Discard the water. Grind them into a smooth paste.
While grinding, add a little water (used wet grinder).
Grind the ginger and green chillies into a paste (without adding water).
Mix all ingredients to the batter except oil. Heat the oil in a deep and wide kadai.
Moisten both palms. Take a lime-sized ball from the batter.
Flatten them into patties and make a hole in the centre.
Gently and carefully slide the vadai into the oil.
Continue the process making a batch of 8-9.
Fry till they are golden brown.
Remove and place on an absorbent paper.
Enjoy with coconut chutney.
