• Rice flour - 2 tbl. sp.

Method :

Soak dal in enough water for 1 hour. Then drain water completely and grind in mixer with other ingredients to a smooth paste [ try to  grind without adding water ]. Add salt and rice flour at the end of grinding. Mean time, keep oil in kadai. When the oil becomes hot, make your hands wet. Shape little dough into balls and then deep fry in oil. Turn once to fry the other side, brown and crispy. Mean time, make rasam. After deep frying the vadai, soak in hot rasam [ dhal rasam ] for one hour before serving.
