MIXED VEGETABLE VADA – VEGETABLE VADAI

Chitra

Mar 28, 2011

I googled so many recipes, referred some cookbooks and finally came up with this vegetable vada recipe. Some have suggested to make this vada with gram flour & rice flour and some recipes are with urad dal. I felt recipe with urad dal would be better and healthy. If you want to make mixed Veg bonda, then gram flour /besan would be the best option.

Mixed vegetable vada / Vegetable vadai recipe

Mix vegetable vada/ vadai for evening snacks !

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Snacks

Serves: 8

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 20 Minutes

Total time: 30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

For the batter :

White round urad dal – 1/2 cup
Salt – as needed
Water – 2 – 3 tbsp ( upto 1/4 cup)
Asafetida / hing – 1/4 tsp
Ginger – 1 inch piece
Green chilli – 1 no

To mix :

Carrot – 2 nos
Grated Cabbage – 1/4 cup
Green chilli – 1 no
Small onion – 10 nos
Curry leaves – A few
Coriander leaves – A few

HOW TO MAKE VEGETABLE VADA

Wash and soak urad dal for 1 hour.

Grind all the ingredients given under ‘for the batter’ in a mixie. Add water gradually.

Make a thick, smooth batter.

Chop or grate the carrots. Chop the small onions, green chillies, curry leaves finely.

Grate the cabbage. Mix all the veggies to the batter. Check for salt.

Heat the oil in a kadai and deep fry vadas in batches. Serve hot !!

NOTE

We don’t have to worry about the shape of vada. U’ll get a nice perfect shape. The batter mixed with vegetables would be very thick.
Suppose if the batter is watery, add little rice flour to get the proper shape. But this step won’t be needed.
