Green Gram Vada:
Green Gram Vadai. Whole Mung dal vadai. Whole Moong dal vadai. Pachai payiru vadai. Pasi paruppu vadai.
Another exciting recipe from Andhra home! Telugu people always inspired me in cooking, language and culture! I learned a lot from them!
When I was in Hyderabad…my house owner Auntie used to share with me, all her home made goodies. She is really good at making evening snacks…all spicy, crispy & sizzling hot! Even if I say…I am on diet and I don’t eat fried, she will never buy it and insist me on eating! she will be very considerate that I going thin, day by day! So sweet, right! I have posted some of her recipes already…like spicy poori and corn vada!
Maybe this is not exactly her recipe…but she narrated this to me, she said…she practically turns any gram into vada! I duly noted her point and hibernated till I got a chance! When there was a ‘Dal’ scarcity in U.S.A., few months ago! I tried to manage everything with local grams! I also got remembered about this particular vada, so made some ‘Kidney Beans Vadai’ and ‘Green Gram Vadai’! I got to say, both these are healthy adoption! They consume very little oil and an amazing point is…they turn super crispy! Isn’t that exciting…so why are you waiting for, go on…soak some gram already!!!
Please take a look at ‘Kidney Beans Vada’
