Can you provide instructions on Making Traditional Ulantha Vadai ?

Ulantha Vadai is a traditional South Indian snack made from lentils and spices. Here's a step-by-step guide to making traditional Ulantha Vadai:

Ingredients

- 1 cup orid dal (black gram lentils)

- 1/2 cup Toor dal (yellow split peas)

- 1/4 cup Chana dal (Bengal gram lentils)

- 1/4 cup grated ginger

- 1/4 cup chopped green chilies

- 1/4 cup chopped curry leaves

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

- Salt, to taste

- Water, as needed

- Oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Rinse the urad dal, toor dal, and chana dal, and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

2. Drain the water and grind the dal mixture into a coarse paste using a blender or food processor.

3. Add the grated ginger, chopped green chilies, curry leaves, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and salt to the dal paste. Mix well.

4. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, round patties (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick).

5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add a few patties (do not overcrowd) and fry until they are golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).

6. Remove the fried vadai from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. Repeat the frying process with the remaining patties.

8. Serve the Ulantha Vadai hot with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a snack with chutney or sambar.

Tips

- Use a mixture of lentils for a more authentic flavor and texture.

- Adjust the amount of chilies and spices according to your taste preferences.

- Do not overcrowd the frying pan, as this can cause the vadai to stick together.

- If you want to make the vadai more crispy, you can add a little corn flour or rice flour to the dal mixture before frying.

I hope you enjoy making and eating these delicious Ulantha Vadai!
