Alu Vadichi Kadi


This recipe was invented to cover a disaster.   Sometimes when you fry the steamed Alu vadi, it just splits open, and you have no control over it.  It tastes the same, but the shape is completely lost. And for kids shape & and look of a dish is a major factor. 

As an even snacks I made aluvadi, and it just split open, And my kids absolutely refused to eat it. So what to do next with this misshaped vadis. Next thing I did was to cut the log strips in to small pieces.  And invent this dish.  It goes very well for steamed rice or kichidi. 

 

Ingredients


Alu Vadi - 10
Jeera – 1tsp
Hing a pinch
Onion – 1 big (chop into small pieces)
Tomato – 1 (chop into small pieces)
Ginger garlic – 1tsp
Red chilli powder – 1tsp
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Garam Masala – 1tsp
Besan ( gram flour) – ½ cup
Water – 2 ½ cups
Oil – 1tbsp
Salt as per taste
Coriander leafs to garnish

Method

1.                  Dry roast the basin till a nice aroma comes.  It should be done in low heat and with continues stirring. Don’t let it burn.

2.                  Remove this roasted basin and let it cool.

3.                  Mix it with water and keep it aside.

4.                  Heat oil in a pan, add jeera and let it crackle.  Reduce the flame and add hing.

5.                  Immediately add onion, cook till it becomes transparent.

6.                  Add ginger garlic paste and mix for 2 min.

7.                  Add red chili, turmeric and garam masala powder. Mix and let it cook for a min

8.                  Now add chopped tomatoes, mix well close with a lid and let it cook for 5 min or till the oil starts separating. 

9.                  To this add the alu vadi ( can use whole vadis or can cut into  small pieces the way I have used), mix for  1 min.

10.              Now add the besan mixture and salt. Keep stirring continuously, till it gives a thick consistence and the mixture should boil.  If you feel the mixture is getting very thick you can add 1/2cup water. Let it boil in low heat for 10 min.

11.              Garnish it with coriander leaf.
