Chef's Notes
Do not skip soaking the urad dal! If your dal is even slightly dry during grinding, your batter will turn out dense like a brick instead of fluffy like a cloud.
Pro Tip
Always keep a small bowl of water nearby when shaping the vadas. Wet fingers prevent the sticky batter from clinging to your hands.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you drop the fried vadas straight into icy cold water or boiling hot water instead of warm water, they will either seize up into rubber bullets or dissolve into mush. Treat them gently!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The Jester wonders why we soak the lentil for two hours just to fry it into oblivion; perhaps it's seeking a hot bath before its grand exit?
The Culinary Science
Whisking the urad dal incorporates tiny air pockets into the protein matrix, which acts as a natural leavening agent and makes the fritters wonderfully spongy.
