ABOUT MEDHU VADAS WITH CHICKEN RECIPE

I had eaten these vadas in Dosa Diner....It was a chain of restaurants all over Mumbai, but doesn't exist any more..wonder why they closed down. They served all these South Indian snacks with a twist..addition of chicken, keema, prawns etc etc..in the idlis, dosas, vadas, uthappams....Today I tried out the vadas with chicken mince..

Ingredients Serving: 6

(For the chicken_
Onions ...... 1 chopped finely
Chicken mince .. 100 - 150 grams
Turmeric powder ... 1/8 tsp
Cumin powder ...... 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder .. 1/4 tsp
Ginger garlic paste ... 1 tsp each
Red chilli powder ..... 1/2 tsp
Garam masala ....... 1/2 tsp
Salt ... to taste
Oil ..... 2 -3 tbsps
(For the Vadas)
Urad dal .... 2 cups
Onion .... 1 (chopped finely)
Green chillies .... 1-2
Coriander leaves ... handful (chopped)
Salt ......... to taste
Baking powder ... 1/4 tsp
Cooked chicken mince... add proportionately.
Oil .... to fry the vadas

Instructions

Heat oil in a pan and stir fry the onion, ginger, garlic.
Add the chicken mince and saute until it changes colour. Add all the spice powders and salt. Set it aside to cool.
Soak the urad dal for 2 hours and grind it. (do not soak it for too long as it makes the vadas oily)
Mix the chopped onions, coriander leaves, green chillies, prepared chicken mince, salt and baking powder.(salt should be added just before frying as it leaves water)
Take a little portion on the wet palm of your hand and make a small hole in the center and drop them into hot oil. Reduce the flame and fry these vadas to a golden colour.
Serve with any chutney of your choice.
