Method
Take dal into a bowl and add water. Wash the dal well and discard water. Add fresh water and soak the dal overnight or minimum 5-6 hrs.
Discard water from the soaked dal. Add the soaked dal to the wet grinder and add salt. Add tea spoon of water to grind. Add 5ml water at intervals depending upon the requirement while grinding. Grind the dal till soft to touch. 
Then beat to fluff the batter. It should be thick in consitancy, where the batter can not be dropped easily from the spoon. Prepare the batter and keep it aside.
To test the fluffiness of the batter add a small portion of batter to a bowl of water and observe that the batter floats on water. If the batter sinks in water then beat for some more time to make the batter light. If required add few teaspoons of water to get the right consistency as thick batter will not be fluffy.
Heat a pan and add oil to it. Wet your fingers and take a small portion of the batter and shape into a round ball. Flatten the batter ball with the thumb. Dip thumb in water and make a hole in the flattened batter with the wet thumb. Making hole in the flattened batter and frying gives evenly fried garelu. Drop the prepared batter carefully in the hot oil. Fry on medium heat. 
After few seconds the dumpling floats on oil carefully turn the dumpling with a slotted ladle and fry. Drop few more dumplings sufficient for the oil taken. Fry garelu on medium heat turning till they turn golden in color. Take out the fried garelu with a slotted ladle and place them on paper napkin which will soak excess oil. Like this prepare garelu and serve hot with coconut chutney and allam pachhadi or any other pickle of your choice.
