Today being a weekend my kids wanted to have something different and yummy too. It had been a long time since I made urad dal Vadas, so thought of making Vadas. We normally have Sambar Vada, Dahi Vada, Rasam Vada. I thought of making something different. So I made Pepper Rasam Vada.
As it is exam time for my kids, I made Pepper Rasam as it aids digestion and Kids can enjoy Urad Vada also at the same time.Kids loved it .
It is a lipsmacking dish and worth a try.
Recipe for Urad Dal Vada:
- 250 gms/1 Cup Urad dal soaked for 5 to 6 hours
- 1 inch Ginger Grated
- 2 Green chillies finely chopped
- Handfull of Corriander Leaves finely chopped
- A few curry leaves finely chopped
- Fist full of freshly grated Coconut
- 1 Tsp Pepper
- Oil for Frying
- Salt to taste
Grind the soaked Urad dal in a wet grinder / mixie to make a fine paste.Add  pepper and ½ glass  of water while grinding. Once the urad dal paste is ready add all the other ingredients mentioned above. Wet your hands and take a ball of flour ,make a hole in the centre using your thumb, and drop it in the hot oil and deep fry. Keep the Vadas aside.

cheers!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
So tempting.
Ulundhu vadai as such or with rasam, curd anything tastes yum. The rasam recipe given here is different from what we make at home. Loved the addition of coconut in rasam. And the rasam vadai looks yum.
Preethi I have never ever tasted or tried rasham, vada, always thinking banaungi but this time I will definitely try your rashan vada
Your clicks are making me crave for some vadas. Such a delicious sounding combo vada and pepper rasam. Like that the rasam is made from moong dal and not the usual toor dal.
Such a beautiful clicks of rasam vada, I have never tried this combo vada with rasam it sounds so yum. Loved the idea of using moong dal into rasam instead of toor dal. Will try this sometime!
We love vadas with chutney and once had it with tomato rasam at a South Indian restaurant ages back.. this combo is so delicious, comforting and filling.. loved the use of moong dal in making rasam. never knew we cud make with that also
I have tried vada and rasam separately but never tried them together…this looks a very good breakfast option
