Procedure:

Soak the Urad dal in water for 1-2 hours and then grind it well in a grinder. Add salt, a pinch of hing, chopped pieces of ginger, chili and coriander leaves to the ground Urad dal and mix well for about 5 minutes. Heat edible oil in a deep pan and then deep fry small flattened balls of batter on a medium flame till the Vada becomes brown. Take out the Vadas and dip them into water for about a minute. Remove the Vadas from water pressing them a little in palm to remove extra water and keep them aside.
