Dhal Wade

2 cups Channa dhal(kadala parippu) or split peas
2 or 3 teaspoonsful of dried chillie pieces
pinch of turmeric
salt to taste
Curry leaves (Karapincha) cut into moderate pieces
1 to 2 finely cut bombay onions

Method

Soak the dhal in cold water for about 3 hours. Drain the soaked peas in a colander and grind the well strained peas in a grinder little at a time till the whole is ground.

In a roomy bowl mix well the ground peas, karapincha, salt, turmeric, chillie pieces and the finely cut onions.

Heat enough oil to deep fry the wada in a thacchi. Make the mixture into small balls if balls cannot be made easily you could add a little flour to get the consistency so that balls could be made easily. On your palm flatten the ball to form the wada shape. Now deep fry the wada till golden brown.Drain the fried wade in a colander lined with paper towel or tissue to get rid of that oil.

I think you would enjoy the just fried wada with a good cup of tea or coffee while relaxing at home with your family. ENJOY
