METHOD: First lets see the "
PRE-REQUISITES" to prepare this dish. Grind the items mentioned under "3 Grind" sections seperately and keep aside. Now, heat a spoon of coconut oil. Add mustard, cumin seeds, red chilly, curry leaf and coriander leaf. Saute it. Add chopped tomato and onion, saute it until oil oozes out. Now add both "
Grind I" and "
Soak & Grind" mixtures. Add little amount of water. Allow it to boil. Its time to add "
Grind II" mixture. Dont allow to boil, once when the bubbles come, switch off the flame. Now add the
Urad dhall vada and close the pan with lid. Serve it after 30 minutes or so. So that vada, will completely dipped with the gravy.
Note: Make the gravy bit watery so that, once we put vada, it will become thick automatically.
