Drain the water from the channa dhal
and grind it into coarse mixture with red chillies, and salt in a mixer grinder

Don’t add water to grind the dhal.

seeds and grind into coarse. Just give 2 or 3 pulses to grind the oats.
Don’t make it into smooth paste.
Then take the grind mixture from the
mixer jar/food processor in a bowl.
Now add the finely chopped onion and curry leaves.Mix well. Add asafetida powder or asafetida soaked water.
Mix every thing well.
Now if the mixture is too dry add 2 or
3 tablespoon of water and mix well.
Now our oats vada batter is ready.
Heat oil in a shallow pan.
Take a lemon size vada batter and
flatten it by placing it in between the palms.
Drop the vada one by one and let it
cook in medium heat. Otherwise the outside will become brown and inside will
remain uncooked.
Flip the vadas in between using a ladle
to make it cook even.
Once the vadas are cooked fully remove
from the oil and serve.
NOTES:
Don’t grind the vada batter into smooth
paste.
Add water only if the batter is too dry.
Finely chop the onion otherwise it will
be difficult to shape the vada.
Wet your hands to flatten the vada without
sticking in the hands.
You can even add shredded carrots too
