This recipe is also my entry to te event "Sunday Snacks - Hot n Spicy" hosted by the lovely Pallavi of All Thingz Yummy.
Ingredients
Tuar Dal - 1 cup
Onion - 1/2 Chopped
Green Chili - 3 chopped
Dried Red Chili - 1
Ginger - 1" finely chopped
Curry Leaves - 5 to 6
Kayam / Asafoetida - pinch
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Rinse and soak the tuar dal for at least 4 hours. Drain the water and leave it in a colander for 10 minutes until the water drains completely. Grind the Dal,1/2 of the chopped onions and ginger, Red chili, green chili and salt into a thick coarse paste with no additional water. Mix the rest of the onion, ginger, curry leaves, kayam.
Heat the oil. In the meantime take handful of the mixture and make it into patties with a dimple on the top onto a cling wrap. carefully transfer the patties into the hot oil. Flip after 5 minutes and cook for another 5 minutes. Cook until the vada is a dark golden brown. Don't make the vada too thick as it would take a longer time to cook.
Remove from the oil to a paper napkin. Serve with hot piping tea.
You can also add 1/2 cup of soaked channa dal or masoor dal to the mixture.

Parippu Vada with one cup of Masala Tea..Mmmmm!You made perfect vadas!
Smitha,
I tried these parippuvada at home. My mother told me to grind coarsly ...i did ...but got cracked as soon as i placed in oil....What you do to bind that daal?
The first time i made parippu wada,I had a fight with my hubby...he said its made out of tur dal and I that its from channa dal.finally we agreed ok we can use both or any,your recipe proves it now!
Thanks, Kichenfairy.
Hi Dhanya, what I used to do earlier was, I used to make a small portion of the dal mixture into smoother paste without water than totally coarse. This used to help me bind the vada without cracking it. The trick is in how you slide it into the oil too. An easy way to do it is which also you can try I used to use a slotted spatula on to wihich i would transfer the vada and then slowly place it in the oil. You can try either method until you get it going the way you want without the cheatcode. :) Hope that helps.
Hi Sumitha, I believe you hubby is actually correct, that is the authentic way of making these parippu vada, But I have also tried these vadas made of parippu and little bit of chanda dal as well as they are delicous too... so you are right too either way the vadas are too good to be resisted.
That reminds me...I haven't made parippuvada for a very long time. Time to soak some dal!
Yours look perfect. :)
Hi Smitha,
these are really good with some tea, you're so right about that. I have added soybeans to this vada before too..they turn out even nicer!

Magnific!
