oh wow.. I could not believe that I managed to whip this up! Thanks to this easy recipe by My Kitchen Snippets.
The only difference in ingredients were instead of lentils (dhall) , I've used split peas (made a mistake :p) . Red dried Hungarian paprika in replacement of red chilli. Also, curry leaves was omitted since it is not available in my kitchen. Obiviously with curry leaves the taste would be sharper.
The result fortunately was still quite similar to the vadai I'm familiar with despite the changes :)
I ate them with a cup of chai tea.... heaven!
