  • Soak thinai arisi in enough water for 3 hours. Similarly, soak channa dal in water for 1 hour. Drain the water completely and combine thinai and channa dal. Blend them together in a mixer along with ginger and fennel seeds to coarse paste. Add little water if needed. Transfer the paste to a mixing bowl. Add chopped onion, green chilies, mint leaves, curry leaves, salt and asafoetida. Mix well everything and keep aside for 10 mins. Heat oil for deep frying in a pan or kadai. Make small balls from the vadai batter. Flatten one ball to form a disc. Once oil is hot, drop the disc carefully. Fry till it turns golden brown on both the sides. Remove from the heat and drain the excess oil. Serve hot.
