How to Make Authentic Ulanthangan Gali at Home

Here's a simple recipe to make authentic Ulanthangan Gali (Urad Dal Vada) at home:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup urad dal (black gram lentils)

- 1/2 cup water

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

- Vegetable oil for frying

- Chopped onions, curry leaves, and coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the urad dal and soak it in water for 4-5 hours.

2. Drain the water and grind the dal into a smooth paste using a blender or grinder.

3. Add salt, asafoetida, and baking soda to the paste and mix well.

4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

5. Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dal paste into the oil and fry until golden brown.

6. Remove the vadas from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels.

7. Serve hot with sambar, chutney, or rasam. Garnish with chopped onions, curry leaves, and coriander leaves, if desired.

Tips:

- Use a non-stick pan or a cast-iron skillet to prevent the vadas from sticking.

- Adjust the amount of water while grinding the dal to achieve the right consistency.

- Fry the vadas at the right temperature to ensure they are crispy outside and soft inside.
