Mooli vadai aka radish vadai recipe

Ingredients:
Radish – 2 cups, washed, scrubbed, and shredded
Salt – ¾ teaspoon
Puffed bengal-gram dal – 1 cup, coarsely grounded
Onions – 2, finely chopped
Green chillies – 2, large size, finely chopped
Coriander leaves – a small bunch
Cloves – 2, ground to a smooth powder
Cinnamon – 1-inch stick, ground to a smooth powder
Oil - for deep-frying

Method: Rinse the radish shreds in warm water, and squeeze it out. Knead all the ingredients well to a dough firm enough to pat into vadais. Sprinkle few drops of water only if needed to bind the mixture together. Form the dough into small round flat circles and deep fry in smoking hot oil to an attractive deep brown color. Serve hot with a piping hot cup of masala tea. Enjoy!
