Deep fried Urad balls
Recipe by Mrs.Soujanya Hariprasad of Santa Clara, US
This is famous Andra dish. My mom is from Andra but she hadn't made this for a long time. Best way to finish leftover Dosa/Idli batter. This is my version.
Ingredients
vegetarian
4 servings
- 2 cups Dosa/Idli batter (or soak Urad dal & Rice for 4-5 hrs, grind separately, mix with salt & ferment overnight)
- 2 tsp Cumin seeds (jeera)
- 1 cup chopped Onion
- 3-4 finely chopped Green chillies
- 1/2 tsp finely chopped Ginger
- 1/2 cup chopped Cilantro (coriander leaves)
- 1 sprig Curry leaves (finely chopped)
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable Oil for frying
Directions
- To the Dosa/Idli batter add all the above mentioned ingredients except Oil. Adjust Salt carefully as the batter already has Salt in it.
- Heat oil in a kadai. Drop 1 tbsp spoon of batter at a time in the Oil just like we make Boondi. Fry till golden colour on a Medium heat. Remove on a absorbent paper.
- Serve hot with Mint chutney & Tomato sauce or can be eaten just like that.
