Vigna Mungo (Black Lentil) Thins/ Milagu Vadai

1. 1

   Soak Urad dhal(type of lentil) for just 20 mins. This is also called as Blackgram dhal.

2. 2

   Drain the water and grind it coarsely with absolutely no water. I used a food processor. It worked much better than a blender.

3. 3

   Pulse the black pepper corns and cumin in a spice grinder until they are coarsely ground.

4. 4

   Mix the coarsely ground urad dhal, black pepper corns, cumin with salt and a tsp of rice flour.

5. 5

   Grease a plastic cover like a ziplock cover or banana leaf as it is traditionally used with some oil/ clarified butter.

6. 6

   Make golf size balls of of the prepared dough.

7. 7

   Press this ball flat on the greased surface. It may not be really thin.

8. 8

   Fry this in medium temperature oil.
