Maddur Vade

Maddur Vade is a snack named after the town Maddur in Mandya. This is one thing which no one would want to miss when travelling from Bangalore to Mysore :)

Its named vade but is quite crisp like thattai and here goes the recipe...

INGREDIENTS:

Rice flour: 1 cup

Maida/ All purpose flour: 1/2 cup

Rava/ Semolina: 1/2 cup

Red onion: 1 medium

Green chillies: 5-6 nos. (or as per taste)

Red chilli powder: 1 tsp 

Asafoetida / hing: a few generous pinches

Curry leaves: a sprig

Cashewnuts (chopped): 1 tsp (Optional)

Salt as per taste

Water for kneeding

Oil for deep frying

METHOD:

In a bowl take the flours and rava and add the chopped onions, green chillies, curry leaves, chilli powder, hing and salt and mix well.

In a pan, heat the oil for deep frying.

Add a spoonful of warm oil to the bowl with the flour mix.

Kneed this into a dough by adding water. It should be slightly thinner and softer than the chapathi dough. 

Make small flat rounds out of the dough by patting onto a plastic / butterpaper sheet.

Deep fry till brown and crisp and serve hot with chutney. 

Tastes awesome even without any side dish.

Ciao till next time...Have fun! Vidya.
