Chana dal and arbi leaves fritters

I've arbi leaves in my tiny garden. They taste really yum when you add it in patrode or in pulikutti uperi. I tried to add one large leaf in chana fritters. As usual it was extremely crunchy and crispy.

Ingredients

Chana dal 1 cup
Green chillies 2
Garlic 2 pods
Onion 1 cut into thin slices
Salt as requured
Saunf 1/2 tsp
Ajwain 1/2 tsp

Green fresh leaves from balcony garden

Ajwain, arbi patta, malabar spinach, red amaranth, spring onion shoots and one lemon leaf. (wash and roughly chop)

Oil for  frying

Tips

Use fresh leaves for better results
Soak chana dal for 3 to 4 hours
1 cup of chana dal and other ingredients will yield approximately 10 fritters. If you want more quantity increase the ratio.

Method

Make a coarse paste out of chana dal, green chillies, garlic. Mix in with chopped leaves, chopped onions. Adjust salt.

Keep oil for frying in medium flame. Slowly dip in small disc/vada made out of batter. Fry till golden brown, 2 to 3 at a time. Fry in batches, remove in kitchen napkin. Let it absorb oil. Serve with hari chutney or imli chutney. Its taste divine with freshly brewed coffee or masala chai. Do try. Happy cooking!!
