  • Salt

How to Make Minapa gaarelu (urad dal vada)

  • Soak dal for 3 hours, remove husk (not completely),
  • Drain water completely and prepare a firm coarse paste along with salt.
  • Add pepper and jeera and mix well.
  • Make thin vada on a plastic sheet/or a clean wet cloth, put a hole in the centre and deep fry the vada on medium heat till it turns golden brown.
  • Place them on a paper napkin to remove extra oil, if any (usually this vada does not absorb oil as the dough is a firm coarse paste).
