A pinch asoefetida powder
Salt as per taste

Mince the following:
8-10 nos Curry Leaves.
1 small Onions.
1 tsp Ginger.

Method

Wash and soak dahl for four hours. Then DRAIN the dahl in a colandar for 1 hour. There should be hardly any water left on the dahl. If the dahl is too wet the vada will break apart. Pat the dahl dry with a paper towel.

With a food processor, the grinding will be easy. Grind the dahls separately and make a paste.
