First wash the dals and soak for 1 to 2 hours. Put the red chillies also with the dals.
Then in a mixer jar coarse grind the dals and red chilli without any water... Just pulse it.
Put the ground mixture in a bowl...
Add the chopped onions, green chilli and curry leaves
Add salt, mix well.... If you wish you can add the rice flour... I didn't add.
Now make small balls and press gently with your hands... to make thin vadas... It should not be very thick or else it wont cook properly...
Put oil in a kadai and heat it...when hot put the vadas slowly and deep fry them well on low to medium flame till nice and crisp from both sides...
