Procedure:
In a bowl soak chana dal for 2 hours. After dal becomes double the quantity, grind it neither coarse nor thin. This will allow baked vada to be little soft, yet crisp.
Add besan to make thicker consistency for vada.
Add all spices and curd and mix well.
Line a parchment paper on a baking tray.
Use spoon to lay vadas on the parchment paper to bake.
Bake at 160 C for around 10 minutes, or till it turns golden brown.
