One of my favourite dishes from Andhra

Ingredients:

Black Gram or Urid Dal white: 2 cups. Soak them for 4 hrs and grind into a fine paste.
Onions: 1 large
Green Chillies: 4
Ginger: finely chopped
Salt to taste

Mix everything together and keep it in the fridge for just ½ hr to make them more crispier.
I have seen few friends adding sodium bi carbonate as well. But mine come out very crisp even without adding it so u try in which ever way u like

Now eat oil and when it is really hot, take some batter into u’r hand and place it on a plastic sheet and make a small whole in between.

Make sure u’r hands are wet or else the batter sticks to u’r hand.Now slowly try to drop into the oil. Fry them until they are golden brown.

I like them with coconut chutney, they are absolutely delicious with or without chutney!!!

Had a nice holiday in south west england couple of weeks back and here are some of the beautiful and amazing pictures!!!!!
