Method
Wash
and soak rice, thoordal, chana dal together for about 4 hours. In
another bowl wash and soak moong dal for 4 hours. Similarly in another bowl
wash and soak urad dal for 4 hours.
Bowl 1: thoor dal + chana dal + rice
Bowl 2: moong dal
Bowl 3: Urad dal
Soak all of them for 4 hours
Wash
the dals in the respective bowl and keep them ready for grinding.
Grind
the rice, thoordal and chana dal along with red chillies, green chillies and
salt in a mixer to a coarse paste. Transfer it to a bowl and keep it aside.
Now
grind the urad dal to a smooth paste and transfer it to the same bowl.
Drain
the water from the moong dal completely and add it to the same bowl. Mix all
them really well.
Add the
grated coconut, chopped cilantro, ginger, curry leaves, asafoetida and mix
thoroughly.
Heat ½
tsp of oil and splutter mustard seeds, add the mustard seeds to the dal mixture
and mix well.
Heat
oil in a kadai to make the vadais. When oil is hot, scoop dal mixture in a big
spoon or with your fingers and drop it in the oil.
Cook on
medium flame until golden brown in colour. Make sure you cook them evenly on
all the sides. Drain it on paper towel.
Delicious,
crispy and yummy Thavala Vadai is ready to be enjoyed. Serve them hot as such
or with coconut chutney or cilantro chutney.
