Pappada Vada



Pappada Vada

A tasty evening snack in Kerala. Crispy, crunchy & very easy to prepare !!!! Excellent combination with tea / coffee.

Makes: 15 pappada vadas

Tip: To make Pappada vada crispier, dry the papads (Kerala Pappadam) in sun for about 15 to 30 minutes.



You will need

12 Kerala Pappadam
200 g (1 cup) raw rice
2 cups water
3/4 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon til (sesame)
1/4 teaspoon hing
Extra 1/4 cup (50 ml) water to mix
250 oil to fry

Method

Wash & clean rice. Soak in 2 cups of water for 2 hours. Drain out water and make a smooth paste in a mixer. Sprinkle 2 tablespoon water while grinding.



Then mix with Kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, hing, salt & til. Add extra water (40 to 50 ml) and make a batter of pouring consistency (it should be thinner than normal dosa batter).

Heat oil in a pan / iron kadai. Reduce the heat to medium. Dip each pappadam in rice batter and deep fry till golden color on both the sides (3 pappadams at a time).

Drain and place on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil and store in an airtight container.
