Ingredients

• loose Ginger
• 500 g Urad Dal
• 100 g Rasam Powder
• 100 g Tamarind Paste
• 1 l Refined Soyabean Oil
• 200 g Table Salt

Instructions

1. 1. Rinse 250g of urad dal thoroughly under running water to remove impurities. Then, soak the dal in water for at least 4 hours to soften the grains for grinding.
2. 2. While the dal is soaking, prepare the rasam. In a pot, combine a spoonful of Sambal Oelek (chili paste) with 500ml of water and a pinch of table salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes. Keep the rasam warm on low heat.
3. 3. After the dal has soaked, drain the water completely and grind the urad dal into a smooth, thick batter. Add a small amount of water if necessary to achieve the right consistency. Mix in a pinch of table salt to season the batter.
4. 4. Heat Champion Oil (groundnut oil) in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the optimal frying temperature of 180°C (350°F).
5. 5. Shape the dal batter into small balls or doughnut shapes using your hands or a spoon. Carefully place the shaped batter into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. 6. Fry the vadas until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the fried vadas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. 7. Grate a small piece of fresh ginger and stir it into the warm rasam. This will enhance the flavor of the rasam without affecting the texture of the batter.
8. 8. Immerse the freshly fried vadas into the prepared rasam. Allow them to soak for 5-10 minutes so they absorb the flavors. Serve the rasam vadas warm, garnished with additional Sambal Oelek if desired.
