Wheat Flour Fritters (Godhuma Vadalu)

గోధుమ వడలు

A delicious variation to regular Vadas/fritters

I made these delicious fritters on Ugadi day this year. These are instant fritters with no soaking or grinding. They came out so good, but I personally felt that they are not crunchy like other dal fritters (vadalu). These fritters gave a different touch to the regular fritters. My family loved the taste and enjoyed them.

Dosakaya Mukkala Pulusu (Cucumber Stew)

This is one of our family favorites. This pulusu tastes so good with rice and some papads on the side. The cucumbers I used in this recipe are from our garden. It feels so good to grow your own vegetables and cook them. Isn’t it?

Quinoa – Besan Dosa (Crepes)

I feel Quinoa makes any dish healthy. These days I’ve been using Quinoa in many daily recipes. This is one such dish I prepared using cooked Quinoa. Dosa tasted so delicious and felt good.

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Chickpea Flour (సెనగపిండి, Besan)
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
Salt
Oil or Non-stick spray

Preparation:

Add quinoa + besan + cumin seeds + chili powder + salt in a bowl; pour some water and mix well to make a thin batter.
Heat a non-stick pan. Then take a ladleful of batter, first pour around the edges of the pan in a circle and quickly fill in the circle to make it into a big circle.
Pour some oil or spray non-stick spray around the dosa and let the dosa cook for a while.
Then flip it over and pour some more oil (optional).
When it is cooked on both sides, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
Repeat the same process with the remaining batter.
We enjoyed our dosas without any chutney as it tasted great alone.
These make a great breakfast with some juice on the side. Yummy!!
