MILAGU VADAI

Hey all ! This recipe is very special

as it is mostly made in temples..That

too Lord Hanuman temples.. That's why 

this vadai is also called as "Anjaneyar

 vadai"..The ingredients are very simple & 

no masalas are used.. These vadais 

are very thin & crispy and yummy :-)
My father learnt this recipe from my grand father
and I learnt it from my father :-)

Patience is very important while grinding 

the batter & preparing vadais as the batter

will dry & become sticky very soon.. I used 

2 cup of  whole urad dal & made 51 vadais :-)
