Default Pollal Vadai - an ancient, but delightful snack !

This tastes like a “cross” between bajji & bonda ! It makes an ideal tea-time snack.

Raw rice 2 cups

Tur dhal 1 ½ cups

Red chillies 8 – 10

Salt, hing

Oil to fry

Wash & soak rice dhal & red chillies together for 2 hrs.

Grind fine with salt & hing powder.

Keep it the consistency of dosa batter. You should be able to pour it into oil like
Neyyappam or vellai paniyaram.

Pour it in a small ladle into hot oil.

It spreads circularly like puri, puffs up & comes up.

Remove when golden in colour , after turning over.

Fry at a time, preferably one .

Serve hot with coconut chutney.

Best served hot - from the frying pan to the dining table !
