Chef's Notes
Coarseness is your best friend here. If you grind the dal into a smooth paste, you will end up with rock-hard bullets instead of light, crispy fritters.
Pro Tip
Always drop the vadas into medium-hot oil. If the oil is smoking hot, the outside will burn to a crisp while the inside remains raw and soggy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you add water to the batter thinking it will help it grind, you will end up with lentil soup that violently splatters and explodes the moment it touches hot oil, redecorating your kitchen ceiling.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the chana dal go to therapy? Because it had too many split personalities before getting ground up.
The Culinary Science
Leaving a portion of the chana dal whole creates air pockets during frying, while the uneven particle sizes allow steam to escape without bursting the patty.
