Lobia Vada / Bobbarlu Vada / Black Eye Peas Fritters- 2

Today's recipe is one of the popular snack  of Andhra Pradesh.  Simple  to prepare and healthy too. Serve hot with ginger pickle or ginger chutney for better taste.

Previously I have posted similar recipe of Lobia vada, but in that recipe I added all the ingredients while grinding.  But in the version am adding chopped onions, chilies  etc after grinding the peas for more crunchiness. My family and friends liked this version of vada than the previous one as these vada's.

Here goes the recipe......

We need:

Bobbarlu / Lobia  2 cups
Chopped onion 1/2 cup
Chopped green chili 2 spoons
Chopped cilantro 1 cup
Crushed  Ginger  1 spoon
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Method:

Soak Black eye peas / lobia over night or for 6hrs.
After 6 hrs wash thoroughly and grind it to rough paste.
Do not add water while grinding.
Now add chopped ginger, onion, green chili and cilantro.
Also add salt to taste and mix well.
Heat oil in deep frying pan.
Once oil is hot, make small patties or fritters and drop few at a time in the hot oil.
On medium flame fry the vada's till nice and crisp.

Remove from oil and place the vada's on  paper napkin to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with ginger chutney.
