Urad Dal Fritters -Seeyam Chettinad Style

This is a Chettinad Special usually served in marriages and functions. Even though deep fried its very nutritious. The batter for this dish is similar to Vada batter. Its cooked like a fritter which makes it light. When I make Vada I usually keep Seeyam as Plan B. If the Vada batter gets too thin I use it to make Seeyam.
You can grind the batter in a regular blender or an Indian Mixer. You can make sweet Seeyam by stuffing with coconut and jaggery.



Preparation time:20 min
Cooking time:30 min
Serves:3-4

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Urad dal (Ulundam Paruppu) - Soaked for 2 hrs
  • 1 tbsp Toor dal (Thuvaram Paruppu) - Soaked for 2 hrs
  • Water needed for grinding.
  • Salt as needed.
  • Oil for frying.

To Temper:

  • 1/2 tbsp Mustard seeds.
  • 1/2 tbsp Urad dal.
  • 1 small onion (very thinly sliced)

Method:

  • Wash and soak the Urad Dal and Toor Dal for 2 -3 hrs .
  • Grind in Wet grinder /Blender with less water. (Splash little bit of water when the grinder/blender not able to grind).

  • Temper the oil with mustard seeds and urad dal .

  • Add onions and saute them until translucent.
  • Add this to the ground Urad dal  batter.
  • Add required salt to the mixture.
  • Make small balls or whatever shapes you like and deep fry them in oil until it changes color.
  • Serve them as a snack or as an appetizer.


Note:
  • Dont make the batter too runny(the fritter will absorb more oil)
  • Wait until it changes color otherwise you feel it is still raw 
  • Serve them hot to enjoy the crispness.
