Instructions of Maddur Vade Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
I start by taking a large mixing bowl and adding rice flour, refined flour, and suji. Then, I add salt, red chilli powder, and sesame seeds. I mix everything well so that all the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
- Ensure the dry ingredients are sifted for a smooth mixture.
- Stir thoroughly to get an even distribution.
Step 2: Add Aromatics and Vegetables
Next, I finely chop green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, coriander, and onion. I add these chopped aromatics and vegetables to the dry mix. I stir everything so that the spices and vegetables are well incorporated into the mixture.
- Make sure the vegetables are chopped evenly for a consistent texture.
- Mix slowly to blend the flavors well.
Step 3: Crush Peanuts and Add Ghee
I then coarsely crush the peanuts and add them to the mixture. In a small pan, I heat the ghee until it melts, and then pour it directly into the mix. This step is very important in my Maddur Vade Recipe as the melted ghee helps make the vadas crispier.
- Crush the peanuts roughly to add a nice crunch.
- Pour the hot melted ghee evenly over the mixture.
Step 4: Mix Water to Form the Dough and Shape the Wadas
I add water gradually to the dry mixture and knead it until I get a smooth, firm dough. I take small portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and then gently flatten each ball between my palms to form round or oval patties. I make sure not to make them too thin so that they hold their shape when fried.
- Add water slowly to avoid a sticky dough.
- Knead well until the dough feels smooth.
Step 5: Fry the Wadas
I heat oil in a kadai or deep pan on medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, I drop a small piece of dough into it; if it sizzles and rises quickly, the oil is hot enough. Then, I carefully drop the shaped wadas into the oil in small batches, turning them occasionally so they fry evenly on all sides until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even frying.
- Turn the wadas occasionally for uniform cooking.
Step 6: Drain and Serve
Once the wadas are fried to a perfect golden brown, I remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any extra oil. I then serve the hot Maddur Vade with coconut chutney or my favorite chutney for a delicious snack.
- Let the excess oil drain properly to keep the wadas crisp.
- Serve immediately while they are hot and crispy.
