This is one of my childhood favorite and used to buy this one from the local shop for my evening snack.
For the day 2 of Blogging Marathon#25 I made neikadalai,this is a very simple recipe and needs only few ingredients.Now off to the recipe.....................

| Salt | 1/2tsp |
| Oil | for frying |
| Curry leaves/karivepillai | 1 sprig(optional) |
Method
- Soak the dhal in the water for 4-5 hours,drain the water completely and spread it on a towel for 10 minutes.
- Mix the red chilly powder,turmeric powder and salt,keep it aside.
- When it is damp enough fry it in the oil in a medium flame till it becomes crispy.
- Remove it from the oil and drain it on a paper towel.
- Sprinkle the red chilly powder and mix it well.
- Neikadalai is ready.
Enjoy..........................................
- The dhal needs to be soaked completely otherwise it won't fry properly in the oil.
- Instead of red chilly powder black pepper powder can aslo be used.
- If you are using curry leaves fry it in the oil in the end and add it.
- The amount chilly powder can be increased or decreased according to personal preference.
