Snake Gourd/ Ash Gourd Kola Urundai. Potlakkai Kola Urundai/Vadai. Padavalangai Kola Urundai/ Vade.

Actually One uses Minced Meat for Kola Urundai, so for Veggie lover’s I finely chopped snake gourd to prepare this. Instead of frying I steam cooked for my mommy alone. She truely appreaciated my job!

Ingredients:

Ash Gourd 1 small – finely chopped
Toasted Chana dal(pottu kadalai/udaitha kadalai) 1 cup
Salt
Green chilies 3
Scalion 1 small bulb
Cilantro leaves few
Fennel seeds 1 spoons
Oil for deep frying.

Method:

Powder the toasted chana dal! set aside.

Wet grind chilies, onion, cilantro and fennel seeds togather.

Now combine, fienly chopped veggies, salt, wet-ground paste and powdered chana dal!

Maybe if youre not sure enough(the firm ness of batter)sprinkle few spoons fo rice flour too. It gives crispy outer layer!

Frying:Heat oil in a deep frying pan, make round balls out the above batter. Fry till reddish brown and crsip! Fry few at a time. Repeat the same for each batch. Leave themover kitchen tissues for a while.

Steaming:Make equal parts out of it, and steam cook for 10 minutes. Go nuts, its afterall healthy!
