Recipe
1
Coarsely grind the soaked and drained chana dal in a blender without adding much water to retain a textured paste.
2
Transfer the ground dal into a mixing bowl and add chopped onions, green chilies, grated ginger, minced garlic, cumin seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, chopped coriander, and salt.
3
Mix everything thoroughly to combine the spices evenly with the batter.
4
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
5
Take small portions of the mixture, shape them into flat round patties, and gently slide them into the hot oil.
6
Fry the badas on medium-low heat until they turn golden brown and crisp on both sides, then remove them using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7
Serve hot with fresh green chutney.
