V-Vada

 

In this series, I will write about South Indian Food – Typically Telugu food

#SouthieSaga – Vada

Vada for me is always the Masala Chana-Dal Fries

Stuffed with fresh spices, this is a yummy vice

Soak the dal for about an hour

Grind it to a coarse flour

Along with lots of  fragrant mint leaves

also some jeera, salt, ginger and some curry leaves

Now add some finely chopped onions and chillies

Mix all these into a dough and heat some oil in a pan

pat the dough into small rounds, flatten and fry them to a brown tan

Serve hot with chutney, sambar or ginger pickle

I like it plain and eating them always gives me the tickle
