INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup urad dal
- 2 tablespoons rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup green onion, finely chopped
- 3 to 4 green chillies, finely chopped
- Chopped coriander
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Oil for frying
METHOD
- Soak the urad dal and rice together for 4 to 5 hours.
- Grind them together with minimal water.
- Whip the mix well with your hands so it becomes fluffy.
- Add the onions, chillies, coriander, salt and cumin seeds and whip it well again.
- Heat some oil in a kadhai for frying.
- Wet a spoon or your hands with water, take a spoonful of the batter and release it in the hot oil.
- Fry it on a medium flame till it becomes golden brown.
- Enjoy with green chutney, tomato chutney or tomato sauce.
Note: The more you whip, the fluffier and better the baras will be. For more nutritious baras, add vegetables like chopped carrots and spinach.
