Instructions
HOW TO MAKE DRY GALIC CHUTNEY
- Add oil in a skillet at medium-low heat. Add garlic to the oil and cook for 30-40 seconds. Then add sesame seeds to the skillet. When it starts to change color, turn off the heat. Add desiccated coconut, Kashmiri Red Chili Powder, and salt and mix gently. Let it cool down for 10-15 minutes. Transfer the mixture into a spice grinder and grind it coarsely.
HOW TO MAKE POTATO MIXTURE
- Add oil in a skillet. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add chopped curry leaves. Add turmeric powder & ginger and stir. Lastly, add mashed potatoes and spices and mix until everything is well combined. Transfer in a bowl and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
HOW TO MAKE BATTER FOR THE VADAS
- Make the batter by putting gram flour, salt, and red chili powder in a bowl. Add water little by little until it forms a batter of medium consistency.
HOW TO MAKE VADAS
- Make 1-inch diameter potato balls from the potato mixture. Take a small amount of potato mixture in your hand & roll it until it is round in shape and looks like a ball. Repeat the process for the rest of the potatoes.
- Take one potato ball and dip it in the batter until the ball is covered in batter.
HOW TO COOK VADAS
- STOVE-TOP: Add oil in the wok or kadai or a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, place the batter-dipped potato balls in the frying pan. Once one side is golden brown, flip the vadas and cook until both sides are golden brown in color. Remove the vadas and place them on a paper towel.
- AIR-FRYER: preheat air fryer at 400°F for 3-5 minutes. Spray some cooking oil in an air fryer basket. Then place the batter-dipped potato balls in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown in color. Remove the vadas from the air fryer basket.
HOW TO SERVE VADA PAV
