To make 10-12 Wadas:
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 big size potatoes
- 6 cloves of garlic.
- handful of coriander (kothmir).
- 3 chillies
- small piece of ginger
- Oil for frying
- 150 gms Chana atta
- 2 tbsp red chilly powder
- 2 tbsp dhana jeera
- 1 tbsp black mustard seeds (rai)
- 1 tbsp urad dal
- pinch of asofoetida (hing)
- Pinch of turmeric (haldi)
- 6-7 leaves of curry leaves (limda)
- salt as per taste.
Step 1: Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker upto around 4 whistles. Remove the potaoes and peel their skin and mash them using a potato masher or your hands.
Step 2: Take garlic,chilly and ginger and put them in a mixer. Add very little water and make paste out of them.
Step 3: Add this mixture along with coriander and salt as per taste to the mashed potatoes as prepared in step 1.
Step 4: Take 2 tbsp oil in a vessel and heat it on the gas. When the oil starts to sizzle, add mustard seed, urad dal, hing,turmeric and limda. As the oil starts to crackle add the mixture of potato and chilly garlic paste as prepared in step 3.
Step 5: Take the mixture prepared in step 4 and make wadas (balls) as per your size.
Step 6: Take Chana atta in a vessel and add red chilly powder and dhana jeera and salt. Slowly add water to this mixture and make a medium paste i.e neither too thin nor too thick.
Step 7: Take some oil in a vessel on the gas for frying. Now dip the wadas prepared in step 5 into the paste prepared in step 6. See that the wadas are covered on all side by the paste. Now slowly and carefully put these balls in the oil. Remove the wadas when they are properly fried (brownish colour).
Note: After frying do not discard the oil. you can use it later on for any purpose.
These Wadas can be had just like that but they will taste better if you put the wada in a Pav. You can put green chutney, garlic chutney & meetha(imli) chutney in the Pav as per your requirement.
Congratulations you have prepared the most famous snack of Mumbai!
