All Dal Vada

Ingredients
Moong Dal - 1 cup
Chana Dal - 1/2 cup
Urad Dal - 1/2 cup
Green Chillies - 5 or 6 nos (depending upon how spicy you like it)
Ginger - 1 small finely chopped
Coriander
Onions - 1/2 cup finely chopped
Curry Leaves
Jeera (Cumin seeds) - 1 tbsp
Salt to taste

Procedure
Soak Moong Dal, Chana Dal and Urad Dal in water for 2 hours. Remove the excess water and grind well. Make sure the batter is coarsely grinded. Keep aside.

In the grinder jar take the Green Chillies, Ginger, Coriander, Onions, Curry Leaves, Cumin seeds and salt and grind well to a paste.

Mix the above two ingredients (Grinded batter and the Green Chillies paste). These should mix very well.

Now take a wet cotton cloth and on it pour a small amount of the batter and prepare Vada in the shape as required. In a deep frying pan heat the oil for around 5 min in medium flame. Now fry the above prepared Vada's in this oil on medium flame, till crispy brown color. Lower the flame and constant stirring would make Vada's more tastier.

Author's Note
As a side dish, take the Mango pickle and add a tbsp of Cream (Malai) to it. Mix well and serve with the hot Vada's. This combination is just too delicious to resist.
