Rava Vada


Rava Vada
Today's recipe is an instant tea time snack. It is deep fried fitters made with semolina/sooji

Ingredients
Rava- 1 cup
Rice flour- 1 tbs
Shallots sliced- 4-5
Yogurt-1 tsp
Ginger chopped- 1 tsp
Green chilly- 2
Curry leaves chopped- a few
Salt to taste
Oil for frying


Soak one cup of Rava/semolina  in two cups of water for about half an hour. After half an hour strain and squeeze out the excess water using a cheese cloth. Add chopped green chilly, curry leaves, shallots,ginger and one tsp of thick yogurt. Mix in the rice flour. You can also add a pinch of baking powder at this stage. Heat oil in a pan. Wet your hands with water and make small patties. Carefully drop then in oil and fry till both sides become golden brown. It takes more time than ordinary vada to get browned up. Serve with ketchup or chutney.

Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy

      Hi Megha,thanks for stopping by
      Shallots is very similar to pearl onion..a little more bigger variety
      You can use onions instead :)

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone?

This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste.
