How to make Baked Vada :

  • Soak Chana Dal in water for 2-3 hours. Drain water and grind it with ginger, green chillies and fennel seeds. Coarsely grind it to a thick paste.
  • Take this mixture in a bowl and add rice flour, onion, garlic, coriander leaves and salt. Mix the batter properly.
  • Take a handful of vada batter and give it a round shape. Press firmly with the palms of your hands to form the shape of a thin flattened vada. Repeat the procedure for the remaining batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Place the baking sheet over the baking tray. Brush the baking sheet with oil.
  • Place the flattened vada on top of the sheet. Brush the top with oil. Bake them from both sides by turning with wooden spatula for 15-20 minutes or till they get golden brown.
  • Serve Baked Vada hot with tomato sauce or chutney.
