Ingredients
  • 1 Glass full Urad dal/ Minapappu 250 ml
  • Water – Required
  • 1 Inch Size Ginger pieces
  • 3 No. Green chillies
  • 1 tbsp. Cumin seeds
  • 1¼ tbsp. Salt
  • 1 bowl Onions
  • 3 tbsp. Coriander leaves
  • Oil – for deep fry
Instructions
  1. Soak urad dal with adequate water and remove the skin (if using the whole dal). Keep aside.
  2. Blend dal either in a grinder or wet-grinder (recommended) by adding green chillies, ginger pieces and green chillies.
  3. After one round of blend, add dal if needed to make a soft paste.
  4. In the second round of blending, add salt to dal and avoid adding water (add only if the batter becomes hard).
  5. Note: If the batter becomes hard, if you don’t want to add water, there is a chance of getting dal heated. Which again reduces chances of getting aerated.
  6. Add coriander leaves and onions, beat well so that batter gets aerated and yield puffy output.
  7. Heat oil to an optimum level and take a small portion of batter and make Garelu either with the help of polythene cover or put them directly.
  8. Deep fry, once they change colour, flip to other side and then fry till they turn a golden brown colour.
  9. Using a spatula, transfer to other tissue paper plate so that excess oil can be absorbed.
  10. Minapa Garelu tastes good when they are hot and crispy accompanied with chutney or sambar.
