My neighbour gave some soaked Desi chana as pooja prashad. I tried vada and it came out tasty and crispy. Here is the recipe Soaked Desi chana 200 grams Red chilly 3 nos 2 spring Curry leaves 2 inch ginger finely chopped turmeric 1 sp salt to taste oil to fry Put the chana, ginger, salt and red chilly in the mixie and make a nice smooth paste by sprinkling water. Avoid adding water. After it becomes a smooth paste, take it out add curryleaves, turmeric powder and take a small portion and flatten it and put in the oil. Remove once it's done. PS you can add sliced onions in the mix for onion vada.
sounds like falafel,vadas made out of channa and stuffed in chappatis and filled with veggies here,anyway thanks for the recipe,will try it out.
Mathangi Madam, I have tried the same. But instead of Deep frying in the Oil, i used to out i Tava and add Oil (1 Tbsp). It comes like a cutlet. Healthy too
Something like the Lebanese Felafal, but with a desi twist. Have made Felafal but will surely try your recipe. Thanks for sharing as I have a lot of channa at home.
