MADDUR VADAI

INGREDIENTS

• Rice Flour - 2 cups

• Semolina/rava: 1 cup

• Maida ( All purpose flour): 2 tbs

• Salt: to taste

• Onions: 1/2 cup finely chopped

• Curry leaves: 6-8 nos finely chopped

• Green chillies: 1 tbs finely chopped

• Ginger - 1 tbs finely chopped

• Red chilli powder - 2 tsp ( optional. I added cos my family likes more spicy vaddai)

• Asafotida - 2 pinch

• Cooking soda: a pinch

• Hot oil: 2 tbs

• Oil: to fry

• water: very little to make the dough

METHOD

• In a big mixing bowl, mix semolina, rice flour and maida. 

• Add salt to taste

• Put chopped onions, curry leaves, green chillies, ginger, cooking soda,and hot oil. 

• Now leave this mixture for 10-15 mins because onions have tendency to leave water once they are mix with salt.

• Now add water little by little to make a soft dough. 

• Remember not to make too watery dough.

• More watery dough will absorb more oil and vaddai will be not crispy.

• Now heat a pan with oil in it. 

• Make small lemon sized balls of the dough and place the ball on a plastic paper and press it into a1/2 inch thickness with the help of you fingers. 

• Alternatively you can also use an aluminium foil on which you can follow same procedure for making vaddai. 

• Deep fry them in medium heat. 

• Drain them onto a kitchen towel to remove excess oil
