Black eyed peas spinach vada

Made this for brunch on Sunday , it was a big hit! , everyone including my 5 year and 1 year old loved it. Very healthy , delicious, best part is it won't not observe much oil as regular vada and adding spinach made it flavourful!.

Black eyed peas are called as Alasandalu in Telugu and Lobhia in Hindi.

Ingredients :

1. Black eyed peas(soaked over night or at least for 4 hours)

2. Spinach - 2 bunches roughly chopped
3. Onion - medium size roughly chopped

3. Cilantro - handful

4. Ginger

5. Green chilies - 2( add more if you like spicy)

6. Salt - per taste

Note - I soaked 2 cups of black eyed peas for 6 people and throw away soaked water before grinding.

Directions to cook :

1. Grind black eyed peas coarsely to a thick paste, add salt while grinding(do not add water while grinding)
2.  Heat oil in kadai in medium high heat.
3. Take a bowl ,add grinded black eyed peas, spinach , onion, green chilies, cilantro , ginger and mix well.
4. Shape batter like medhu vada and deep fry till golden brown on medium heat.
5. Transfer to plate and sever hot with allam chutney or any other chutney of your favourite.

Note: - If oil is too hot , it will cook outside but,will be raw inside.
