As these vadas are big hit in my family, especially my kids, I do make them in large quantity and freeze them..so whenever they want it for a snack, they can just warm them in the oven for 15-20 minutes..or even for save them for guests..
My earlier post of the same recipe was on the 8th Jan '10-- see here
Very similar to Falafel, but i added fresh green chillies in them to make them more spicer and I cooked these koftas from just soaked chickpeas.........
You will need
250 gms chickpeas(soaked overnight)
8-10 fresh green chillies
1 onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
Handful of coriander
salt according to your taste
1tbsp lemon juice
2tbsp chapatti flour
oil for frying
Method:-
Drain the water out from the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor add all the ingridiants except oil and flour, blend till its become fairly smooth with adding bit of water, now add flour and make a small ping pong size of balls. Fry them untill it's get golden brown. Enjoy with some fried chillies and raw onion!!!!!!!!!!
