Method- Clean, wash and soak the toovar dal and urad dal together in enough water for 2 hours.

- Drain and combine the urad dal and toovar dal and blend in a mixer along with salt, red chillies, 4 green chillies and asafoetida till smooth.
- Shop the remaining green chillies and ginger finely.
- To the ground paste, add the chana dal, green chillies, ginger, coriander and curry leaves and grated coconut in a bowl and mix well.
- Heat the oil in a kadhai, place a plastic cover in your left hand and make a small ball of the mixture on it and slowly flatten with your right hand to make nice, round, flat vadas. Heat the oil in a kadhai and deep fry the vadas till they turn golden brown and crisp from all the sides.
- Drain on an absorbent paper and serve hot with coconut chutney.
