* Urad Dal (Split Black Gram) - 1 cup
* Refined Oil - For Deep Frying
* Dry Red Chillies - 2
* Green Chillies - 3
* Ginger, 1" piece - 1
* Asafoetida (hing) - A Pinch

Preparation
First soak the urad dal for 2 hours. Drain and grind the gram with the remaining ingredients (except oil) to a smooth batter. Divide equally and shape into rounds (traditionally these are circular with a small hole in the middle) on a banana leaf or on your palm.
Take a kadai(wok) and heat oil in it. Once it hot, carefully lower the rounds, in small batches and deep fry till they turn crisp and golden brown. Remove and drain the excess oil on a absorbent tissue paper.
Serve hot with Sambhar and coconut chutney.
