Ingredients
Moong Dal - 1 cup
Green Chillies - 7 or 8
Jeera (Cumin seeds) - 1 tbsp
Onions - 1 (big finely chopped)
Ginger - 1 small finely chopped
Curry Leaves
Coriander
Poha - 1/4 cup
Salt to taste

Procedure
Soak poha and moong dal in water for around 2 hours. After 2 hours wash well and remove all the excess water. In a mixture/grinder jar take this poha-moong dal mix and grind into a coarse paste (Paste should not be very smooth). Keep aside.

In the mixture/grinder jar take ginger, onions, green chillies, curry leaves, coriander, salt and jeera. Grind well to a paste (do not add any water while grinding). Now mix this with the moong dal paste. Mix well, but do not add any water.

In a deep frying pan heat some oil (sufficient for deep frying). Make small round shaped vada's by hand with a hole in the middle. And fry these slowly in the oil. Pleae make sure that the flame is on low/medium while frying. This is required for the vada's to be completely fried. Light golden brown color at the outside would confirm that the vada's are ready to savor. And your delicious vadas are ready.

Author's Note
While frying make sure that the flame is kept on low/medium. With high flame vadas might be fried from outside but inside it will still be uncooked. These
vadas goes very well with curd mixed mango pickle.
