Then add channa dal and tuvar dal and grind coarsely(Don’t add water, beetroot have more water content). 

Chop onion finely. Peel
beetroot and grate finely.

 Mix ground dal, grated beetroot and onion in a bowl
and mix it well. Make small vadas in this dough.

 Heat oil in a frying pan and
fry the vadas. Fry both the sides well. 

Serve hot with rice. I served with Spinach masiyal, sambar and rice.

You can add finely chopped coriander also.

If you want vada more spicy,  you can add 2 flakes of garlic and ½ inch
ginger while grinding.
