Vada Kombda( Fried Vadas With Chicken Gravy)...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: ,

This "Vada Kombda" is a very famous meal combination along the konkan coast of india.It consists of vada which is made by combining different flours and a spicy chicken gravy(" Kombda" means rooster). This combo really tastes very nice.This vada is made by combining different flours into a dough, making a flattened doughnut-shaped disc with the dough and deep-frying it. There are 3 types of vada recipes which i know, all taste very nice but today i am posting recipe of one type of vadas.This are the most simplest of them all but taste is superb.Chicken gravy in the pic is Goan chicken Xacuti/Shakuti which i had posted earlierhere.This vadas with chicken gravy taste superb campared to bread, i know since they are deep fried they contain a lot more calories but once in a while its ok to enjoy them:-))
My vegetarian friends can enjoy this vadas with some spicy vegetable or lentil gravy, i am sure u all will love them.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 1-2 tea spoon mustard seeds
  • 1-2 tea spoons fenugreek(methi) seeds
  • oil
  • salt

METHOD:

Roast the mustard and fenugreek seeds separately and cool them.Then grind each one of them to a fine powder.Keep it aside.

Take a bowl and add both the flours and mix them.Then add salt,roasted fenugreek and mustard powder and mix it well with the mixture.If u do not like you can skip mustard and fenugreek powder, but it adds a nice taste and flavour to the vadas.

Now heat 2-3 table spoons of oil and add it to the flour mixture.Using hands mix it well for 2-3 mins with the flour so that it coats the whole flour mixture.Then add enough water and kned it well to form a medium firm dough.Cover it and keep for 30 mins.

Take a banana leaf and apply oil all over it, you can even take a plastic sheet. Make small balls of the dough and using ur fingers flatten them into small round disks like puris on the plastic sheet.They can be of around 4-5 inches diameter and 3-4mm thick.

Heat oil in a kadai and deep fry this vadas on medium flame till golden brown.Drain on oil absorbent paper.

Serve hot with Chicken Xacuti/Shaguti or any spicy gravy.


NOTE: Please do not mistaken this vadas as puris, they look similar to puris but they are not...they are much more thicker then puris.

Preparation Time: 20 mins


I am posting this entry to the event Cooking With Seeds-Fenugreek Seedsorganised by SE of Denufood and announced by Priya of Priyas easy and tasty recipes .
