How is our Minapa vadiyalu made?

Wash the urad dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 4–6 hours. This softens the lentils, making them easy to grind. Drain the soaked dal and grind it into a smooth, thick batter using minimal water. Ensure it is lump-free and airy. Mix in salt, cumin seeds, green chilies, and a pinch of hing.

Add optional ingredients like ginger or curry leaves for enhanced flavor. Drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto a clean surface or a cloth. The traditional method involves placing them on banana leaves for a rustic finish.

Leave the batter drops to dry under direct sunlight for 1–2 days, ensuring they are completely moisture-free. Once dried, store the vadiyalu in airtight containers to keep them fresh. When ready to eat, deep fry the dried vadiyalu in hot oil until golden brown. Serve immediately to enjoy their crispiness.
