Chattambade - Bengal Gram Fritters

I don't know about you ,but I remember... ..since I was a kid and  till date whenever  I go to functions...weddings or poojas where food is served on banana leaves....I never shy away from asking the person who serves  for 2 chattambades and 2 papads.



Ingredients
  • 2 cups Channa dal (Bengal gram dal)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 green chillies (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Dill leaves (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped)
  • 4 to 5 curry leaves
  • salt to taste
  • pinch hing
  • oil to deep fry

Method
  1. Wash and soak channa dal in water for 2 hours.
  2. After 2 hours , drain the water and keep 2 tbsps of channa dal aside and  transfer the  remaining channa dal into a mixie and using very little water or no water at all  grind for few seconds to a very coarse paste.
  3. Add coriander, dill leaves,curry leaves ,onion,green chillies and salt and give one final spin (for 2 seconds)
  4. Transfer to a bowl and add whole channa dal and mix well.The paste must be thick.
  5. Heat oil in a deep vessel, make flat vadas and slip into hot oil, continue the same with rest of the vadas. Fry till the vadas turn golden brown.
  6. Serve with chutney.
