Masala Vada with White Peas step by step

1. Take the cup of white peas in a bowl and wash nicely. Soak it in approx. 1½ cups water for 4 hours or overnight as I did.Drain all the water from the soaked white peas and transfer it to the jar of a blender/mixer grinder. Add just 2-3 tbsps water to the white peas. Grind until the batter is coarse and not smooth. Don’t add too much water while grinding. The batter should be thick in consistency and not at all watery..
2. Add finely chopped onion, cumin seeds, 1-2 chopped green chillies, a pinch of asafoetida or hing, chopped coriander and mint leaves, red chilli powder and salt. Mix the batter well. Wet your palm with water. Take one tablespoon of the batter. Pat, it into a round disc-like shape and flatten it a little by pressing it in-between your palms and give a Pattie like shape. I wanted to make them look like a doughnut and made a hole in the centre..
3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium flame. When the oil is medium hot, slide the vadas one by one into oil from the side of the pan and deep fry them until golden brown and crisp. Drain excess oil and transfer them to a kitchen towel. Crunchy and crispy White Peas Recipe for Vadas is ready. Serve the White Peas Recipe for Vadas with mint or coconut chutney or tomato sauce.
