Urad dal / Ulundu vadai is a very common breakfast item in South-India. With this basic vada we can make sambar vada or dahi vada. Again, this is my MIL's recipe and she is so good at it. Try it for yourself and you will surely agree with me.
I'm adding this after seeing Asha's comment. I did not know that this is a karnataka dish too and goes by the name ' Uddin Vade'. So, now I'm sending this for RCI:K.
Ingredients:urad dal- 1/4 kg
ponni raw rice- 1 tsp
onion-2(medium size)
green chillies-2
ginger- 1"
corriander-few
curry leaves-few
salt- as required
Procedure:
Soak urad dal for 5 to 6 hours. Drain and grind it with rice to a smooth paste (like butter). Add finely chopped onions, green chillies, ginger, corriander and curry leaves. Do not add salt while grinding the urad dal. Salt should be added after the batter is ready . If not the batter will give away the water and make it runny.
Oil your palms and shape the batter into vadas. You can use a ziploc cover too instead of your hand. Slide it carefully in the oil and deep fry it. Serve it with coconut chutney.

Visitng your blog for the first time. You have made perfect vadas with holes...i never get the holes right, wonder how you did them. How i wish, i could dip these in some hotel sambhar and enjoy them. Adding ur link to my blog to keep visiting this nice blog
Hi EIF,
Hearty welcome to you dear. Don't worry about the holes in the vada. You can do it if you practice it two or three times. Many times I have made only bonda like vada as my urad dal batter was not thick enough.
Thanks for adding my blog to your list. Will add yours soon.
wow!!! a plate full of cute vadas...hmmm love to eat with coconut chutney n hot coffeee...

Yes remya, it takes a little practice. Don't worry you will master the art soon.
