Keerai vadai is a very common snack in Southern India. This vadai can be
made with different combination of dals, but here I was used urad dal. It is a
perfect evening snack with hot piping tea or coffee. I have used spinach you
can use any other greens that is available. This is totally irresistible keerai
vadai and you can never stop eating them. Do check out other Vadai Varieties here and Starters/EveningSnacks/Appetizers here.

Method
Wash
and soak the urad dhal for at least 4 to 5 hours. Now grind it in the grinder
or mixer to a very fine paste. Don’t add water when grinding the dal, just
sprinkle little water when needed. When grinding the dhal add the required
salt, so that it will loosen up the dhal.
Clean
the spinach, wash it really good and chop them finely.
Transfer
the ground dhal to the bowl. Add rest of the ingredients except the oil and mix
it really good.
Heat
oil in a kadai, when it is ready make vadai as shown in the photo and fry them
to golden brown evenly on both sides.
Note:
The
urad dhal after grinding should never be watery.
If, by
mistake the urad dhal has gone watery add some more rice flour and urad dhal
flour to fix the mixture.
