Chana Dal Wade AKA Chattambade




You will need
chana dal 1 cup
dry red chillies 2-3
jeera (cumin seeds) 1 tsp
curry leaves 1-2
hing (asafoetida) 1/4 tsp
freshly grated ginger 2 tsp
salt to taste

Prep
1. Wash the chana dal and soak it so that it is fully submerged for 2 hours.
Then drain the water completely.
2. Grind the chana dal together with all the other ingredients until the mixture forms a coarse paste. Add water if needed, but be careful as too much water can make it harder to form patties.
        This happened sooner than I expected and I ended up with a paste finer than I would have liked.
        The bite from dal gives great texture.

Method
1. Make flat-ish patties out of the ground mixture.
2. Heat oil in a shallow pan and place 4-5 patties in the hot oil.
Cover the pan and let it cook for about 3 mins. Then turn the patties over and fry them on the other side for 2-3 mins or until browned.
Serve with ketchup or other dip of your choice.
