To prepare Methi chana Dal Vada Recipe, soak Chana Dal in water overnight or at least for 4 hours. Drain the water from the dal and set it aside.
In a blender, add soaked dals,, cumin seeds. Grind them into a coarse paste in a Mixer. Do not add water while grinding. The addition of water will make the vada absorb oil more than required, while deep frying.
In a bowl, add the grounded dal, methi leaves, onion, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, green chilli,haldi power and salt. Combine them together.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized Kadai, heat oil over high heat.
Once the oil is smoking hot, reduce the flame to medium.
Take a lemon sized ball in hand and flatten it with your fingers.
Gently slide in the flattened balls into oil and cook until they become light brownish.
The vadas are cooked evenly. Once they are cooked, drain excess oil from the vadas and spread them on a paper towel to pat them off excess oil. Serve Methi chana Dal Vada recipe warm with green chutney or tomato sauce.
