DHAL WADE SRI LANKAN

   Dhal Wade    is a popular Sri Lankan snack made primarily from split lentils, seasoned with spices, and deep-fried to create a crispy, savory treat. Here's a basic recipe for making Sri Lankan Dhal Wade



       Ingredients:

  1 cup red lentils (masoor dal)

  1 small onion, finely chopped

  2-3 green chilies, finely chopped

  1 tsp cumin seeds

  1/2 tsp fennel seeds (optional)

  1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

  1/4 tsp turmeric powder

  1 tsp curry leaves, chopped

   Salt to taste

  Oil for deep frying



     Instructions:

1.  Soak Lentils  : Wash the lentils and soak them in water for about 2 hours.

   

2.   Grind the Lentils   : Drain the soaked lentils and grind them coarsely using a blender. Don't add too much water; the mixture should be thick. Some whole lentils in the mixture are fine for texture.



3.   Prepare the Mixture  : In a bowl, mix the ground lentils with the chopped onions, green chilies, cumin seeds, fennel seeds (if using), chili powder, turmeric, curry leaves, and salt.



4.  Shape the Wade  : Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small patties or round balls, slightly flattened.




5.   Deep Fry  : Heat oil in a deep pan. Once hot, gently slide the lentil patties into the oil. Fry on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy.



6.   Drain & Serve  . Remove the fried wades and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with a coconut chutney or tamarind sauce.



  Sri Lankan Dhal Wade   is a perfect snack for tea time or a quick appetizer, offering a delicious blend of spices and crispy textures.
