Maddur Vade

Maddur Vade - this popular delicacy from Maddur, Karnataka, India is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and goes well with coconut chutney but tastes great all by itself too!  These vadas keep for 2-3 days without any refrigeration and hence are a great travel snack!

Maddur Vade

Recipe: 

Ingriedients
1 cup all purpose flour (maida)
Half cup rice flour
3/4th cup rava
Oil to fry
2 onions
2 inch ginger
8 green chillies
2 sprigs curry leaves
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds ( till seeds)
Salt to season

Method

1) it's all about proportions with this recipe so 1 cup maida, half cup rice flour and a 3/4 th cup rava is what works well for me
2) to this add 2 spoons hot oil and mix well 3) add 2 chopped onions,  finely chopped ginger,  chopped green chillies,  curry leaves, half spoon salt ( do not add more), poppy seeds 1 tablespoon,  white till seeds 1 tablespoon and mix everything and let it sit for 20 mins
4) now add just 2 tablespoon water and make a dough ( onion and salt leaves water, hence water is not needed for dough)
5) shape the vada not too thin nor too thick... And fry in medium heat only ( if not onion will burn and the vada will get bitter)
6 ) this vada is not eaten hot,  give it some time to cool down and then enjoy with tea or coffee !
