Ingredients
- ½ cup chana dal (spilt and husked bengal gram)
- ½ cup urad dal (spilt and husked black gram)
- 4 tablespoons water or as needed to grind or blend the batter
- 2 cups cabbage purple or green, finely chopped
- 1 or 2 green chili - chopped or ½ to 1 teaspoon chopped green chillies
- 1 inch ginger - finely chopped or grated
- 1 tablespoon Coriander leaves optional, chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry leaves optional, chopped
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds (saunf)
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 pinch asafoetida (hing)
- salt as required
- neutral cooking oil for deep frying, as required, generic cooking oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse and soak the urad dal and chana dal in enough water overnight or at least for 4 to 5 hours. Drain the lentils.
- Then add the lentils in the grinder jar together with black peppercorns, fennel seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida.
- You can also add these spices whole to the vada batter, instead of grinding them or lightly crush them.
- Grind to a smooth and fine batter using very less water. I added about 4 tablespoons of water.
- Add the chopped cabbage, coriander leaves, curry leaves, ginger and salt to the batter.
- Mix very well and set the batter aside.
Making cabbage vada
- Heat sufficient oil in a kadai till its medium hot.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter in the medium-hot oil.
- When one side is partly cooked and pale golden, turn over and continue frying.
- Flip as needed and fry the vada until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain them on paper towel to remove excess oil. Fry the remaining batch of batter in the same way.
- Serve Cabbage Vada hot or warm with green chutney, coconut chutney or sambar and rasam.
Notes
- Choose either purple cabbage or the regular green cabbage to make these vadai. Both work well.
- Finely chop the cabbage and do not chop them into larger pieces.
- Adjust the spices as needed.
