Mint flavored Maddur Vada/ Maddur Vade

If you have travelled by train from Bangalore to Mysore you would have not missed eating Maddur Vada. The aroma of the vada makes you to buy atleast one, and u end up buying two more (if you like it). The recipe of maddur vada has a twist here with ingrediants chosen to make it more tasty. You can prepare these vadas before hand and serve (if you are still left with anything in the container) when you are watching a movie. This will go to Mansi of Fun N Food for her game night event party.

Procedure:
1. Mix all the ingrediants and leave it for about 15mins. Mix it to a firm dough using enough water.
2. Make lemon sized balls and pat them to make a round
3. Dip it into hot oil and deepfry till golden brown.
4. Heat oil on a low flame. This will make the snack crisp.
5. Serve with chutney or it is tasty enough to eat on its own.

I love maddur vade - have never made them at home, though we always go from Bangalore to Mysore by train just so we can have maddur vade in maddur!

Lakshmi said...

@ birds eye view
LOl!! about the purpose of your train travel. I love and prefer train to bus for many reasons and one of which is maddur vade and kadalekayi..hahahaaa..esp Tippu Express.

KF said...

Looks tasty..Nice to have with a cup of tea

Unknown said...

Looks good and I must try it out with hot tea. You know, you get the best Maddur Vada when you're travelling to Mysore by the Tippu Express. Heavenly taste!!

Anonymous said...

dont we use baking soda for this?

Lakshmi said...

@Anonymous,

I did not use, probably you want to try it out. Semolina makes it crisp so I did not use it.
