Carrot Vadas

These are instant vadas with no grinding or no soaking. And this is a little healthy snack as carrot was added to the flour. I made these on Ganesh Chathurthi day.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients: 4 cups Grated Carrot 3 cups Chickpea Flour (Senagapindi, Besan) 1 cup Powdered Peanuts/Groundnuts (roasted or raw) ½ cup Grated Coconut (fresh or dry) 1 tsp Cumin Seeds A handful of Cilantro, chopped finely A small piece of Ginger, skin peeled and chopped finely Chopped Green Chilies or Chili Powder, as needed (I added 6 green chilies) A pinch of Soda Salt as needed Oil to deep fry Preparation: Add all the ingredients (except oil) in a bowl and mix together to make thick dough using very little water. Keep aside. Pour oil in a deep skillet and heat. When it becomes hot, take small batches of the dough, shape into a small circle and drop carefully into the hot oil. When they become cooked and change color, remove from the hot oil and place on a plate covered with paper towel. Let them cool for some time and eat the yummy vadas. Repeat the same process with remaining dough/batter. Enjoy these yummy vadas any time of the day. Yummy!!
