Thattuvadai set is a most popular street food in Salem,Tamilnadu. Being a Salem girl/ Salemite, I used to have this snack at least once in a week before my marriage. Last week I went to my mom’s place and bought few thattuvadai set for my family. I captured the making at that time and added a video here. I asked that anna about the chutney ingredients. He told the recipe roughly & he said this chutney stays good only for 3 hours. So make it fresh and serve.
Based on his recipe, I tried it on my own. It came out well. If you buy a packet of readymade thattu vadai , making this thattu vadai set would be very easy and quick. But I prepared everything by my own including
thattu vadai. So I found it a bit time consuming. Finally I was very much satisfied with the outcome.

HOW TO MAKE SALEM THATTU VADAI SET – METHOD
- Saute the tomato, onion, red chilly adding salt in a tsp of oil. Grind it to a thick paste adding required water. Add pottukadalai/fried gram if you wish. You can also saute 4 garlic cloves along with tomato.
- Prepare the green chutney by grinding all the ingredients given under “ Green chutney” to a fine thick paste.
- Grate the onions, carrots, beetroot and chop coriander leaves. Mix well and set aside. Cut the lemon and keep it ready.
- Take 2 thatta vadai/Nippat for making one set. Apply red chutney on one side of thattai and green chutney to one side of other thattai.
- Keep little filling in between like a sandwich. Sprinkle lemon juice and close the sandwich.
- Serve immediately. I enjoyed it with coffee 🙂
Enjoy !
