Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups fine semolina
  • 2 cups yogurt
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chillies, chopped
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • few curry leaves
  • salt to taste
  • oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl add semolina and yogurt. Mix together until combines.
  • Let the semolina yogurt mixture sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Once yogurt is absorbed in semolina, add onions, green chilli, mustard seeds, cumin seeds salt, coriander leaves and curry leaves and give it a quick stir.
  • Heat oil in a wok or pan and let it be medium hot. 
  • Apply some water on your palms and take about a small ladleful of batter at a time in your hands.
  • Round the batter and make a dent in the center and carefully drop it in the hot oil.
  • Likewise, make rest of the vadas and deep fry on medium high heat from both sides until golden and crispy.
  • Drain the vada on kitchen towel papers and serve hot with any chutney and or with tea.

Notes

Fry only a few vada at a time to ensure even cooking.
If the batter seems too thick add a little bit of water and if it seems too thin add a tablespoon of semolina or rice powder.
Serve immediately as they taste better when warm only.
