Instructions

  1. To begin making the Avarekalu Masala Vada Recipe, wash the chana dal and soak it for an hour
  2. Wash the avarekalu and pressure cook for one whistle adding enough water
  3. Once pressure releases, drain the excess water and add the cooked field beans to a blender
  4. You can also add field beans as such without cooking but I prefer it cooking
  5. Drain the chana dal from water and add it to field beans in blender
  6. Add in  the dried red chillies too
  7. Grind together coarsely
  8. Field beans will mash easily and chana dal has to be slightly coarse
  9. You can also grind it separately

  11. Mix well until combined
  12. The batter has to be thick so that the vadas can be shaped
  13. If the chana dal mixture is runny add some more gram flour to thicken it
  14. Heat oil for deep frying
  15. Check temperature by dropping small piece of batter
  16. If it rises to the immediately then the oil is ready for frying
  17. Take small ball of batter and flatten it between hands
  18. Drop it carefully into oil and fry in low flame turning both sides
  19. Fry in batches without crowding the oil
  20. Once it turns golden brown on all sides, remove from oil and drain excess oil in kitchen tissues
