Sambhar Wada


Here I am back to add some more stuff to my recipe treasure :) after a good gap of almost a month :P blame it to the current weather of Bangalore, its making me lazy :D

If you want to go a little elaborate with your weekend then go ahead and try out this recipe of home made sambhar wada, i am sure for my friends from south it would be just a regular recipe but believe me, it was an achievement for me to prepare this :P so i am guessing someone out there may get benefited from this one.


I have tried to keep it very simple, write to me if you have any doubts & you wanna try this :)
Tip: If you want a less hectic morning schedule, you can prepare sambhar a night before and prepare only the wada in morning :)

For recipe of Sambhar and Chutney, visit my previous post on Rava Idli and Sambhar with coconut channa chutney.http://itsgarnishedwithlove.blogspot.in/2012/04/instant-rava-idli-chatni-sambhar.html

Ingredients:

  • Urad daal – 1 cup, washed and soaked overnight
  • Hing - 1/2 Tsp
  • Green chilli - 1 finely chopped
  • There is no need of salt, considering sambhar will have salt.
Method
Grinded Urad Daal
  • Grinder the soaked Urad daal in a grinder/Mixer/blender, add some water to help it grind well.
  • This daal should now be blended well (phetna) using hands, this will help in making daal lighter and hence the wada will be softer after deep frying.
Tip: To test if the daal has been mixed well and has turned lighter, take a glass filled with water, add small portion of daal to this, if the daal settles at bottom of glass its not light yet, if it floats on top its all set
Daal floating in water


  • Add ½ tsp hing / asafetida & chopped green chilli to this.
  • Now to make wada, you will need a thin wet cloth, place this cloth on top of either your slab / chakla or chopper. (cloth will help you take out the wada and put for deep frying, else it may stick on other regular surface.)
 

  • Add a ball of daal on this cloth and spread evenly to make wada as shown in picture.
  • Take out wada slowly from cloth and put for deep frying (this is the toughest part of recipe :))
 
  • Fry little darker than Golden brown, keep aside.
  • Serve with Sambhar J & coconut chutney
