VAZHAIPOO VADAI
I rarely make vazhaipoo vadai, most of the times I make vazhaipoo poriyal. Usually, for making vazhaipoo vadai, the mixture is ground bit smoother than we do for the masala vada, but I do grind more coarse as I like that way. You can adjust this as per your preference. But its yummy both ways and that’s really what counts right?
If I make vadai, I only make with 3/4 th or 1/2 of the banana blossom. So out of laziness
to use the vazhai poo in two halves, I most of the time make poriyal. This vadai just might be me and my hubby’s favourite though next to poriyal as it is a healthier choice.Ingredients
| Vazhai poo,cleaned chopped | 1 cup |
| Channa dal | 3/4 cup |
| Urad dal | 2 tblsp |
| Raw rice | 2 tsp |
| Green or red chilli | 4-5 |
| Fennel seeds or jeera | 1 & 1/2 tsp |
| Onion, chopped | 1/4 cup |
| Asafoetida | 1/8 tsp |
| Coriander leaves,curry leaves,Salt | As needed |
| Oil | For deep frying |

Hi raks,
U blog is too gud...ur presentations are very nice...
A tip to add this recipe is if valaipoo is used raw it will drink lot of oil, to avoid this cook the valipoo for 2 min and grind it, it will not take much oil. and u can add some coconut also when grinding, it also gives a differnet flavour
We had these over last weekend.. my mom makes it with just ulundhu or just kadalai paruppu - not combined like this. Looks crispy and perfect
Raji,Vadai is Perfect! First photo is so so perfect! Love this post!
amazing...love the clicks..perfectly made vadais with a yummy twist..
Vadas look lovely. So crispy!!! And a very helpful pictorial demonstration about how to clean vazhai poo. Thanks so much for sharing.
