chana dal to a mixer jar. Add half a table spoon of onion pieces, 2 chillies,
ginger, and salt. Grind the items into a coarse paste. If you are unable to
grind, add little water, which you had used to soak the chana dal, to the jar.
Grind again. If there is chana dal, which is not ground, press them with your
fingers or leave them as is. Transfer to a bowl. Add chopped onions, chili, green leaves, rice flour, soda and
salt to the ground mixture. Mix. The masala vada mixture is ready.
