Masala Vada

[desidol22]

This is like the indian version of falafel !! 

[arulisms]

The rock is allergic to cinnamon

[refa50]

I grind it in three batches...one fine, half and a few full dal....

[TheGoodgirlgoesbad]

HE TALK FAST TOO , BUT GOOD

[sheilaben1]

[rk097]

[srikiraju]

@rk097 Yup they are chickpeas. But these don't have the outer skin layer.

[wsppp6]

[ayesha2886]

[saayth]

Thanks a lot.. it came very nice when I tried.. I am a new beginner and enjoying learning cooking.. your videos are nice.. :)

[shalucomp1]

can you pls tell is the oil has to be very hot ? as i made them and all the vadas split up i ended up throwing that batch

[amisha290]

Hi Vahchef.. Thanks for your wonderful recipes. They are so easy to make and understand too.I always thought cooking is so tuff but now a days I love to try all new things. Keep posting new recipes so that we can widen our knowledge:)

[ladymarko71]

h0tchapati, thank u much!! I made this yesterday anyway, but I used multi-purpose flour instead. It worked although it turned out a little hard. Will find besan flour and make this again. It's just so good and easy to make! THanks again!

[ladymarko71]

What flour was that he used as a binding agent? Can't quite catch his word. I'm not Indian, but this has been my favorite since childhood =)

[h0tchapati]

Besan, it is slightly yellow in color and you can find it at an Indian grocery store. Also known as chickpea flour.

[juneg1964]

Sanjay you make it so easy thanks you so much.

[Diva76ish]

You can add some soaked sabbakki/sabudana for this. Dont add it while grinding but add it later on while mixing. It comes out very well. Never heard of adding cinnamon. Can you show karnataka specialty maddur vada. Its a great tasting recipe.

[komalagopal]

hi sanjay.. i tried ur masala vada.. it tasted very good.. really awesome, but i tried once with ginger garlic paste really it was tasting too good.. y cant u try that once.. hope u too love it.. and am following ur receipes they taste really good u know especially biryani's.. i learnt many receipes from u.. thank u..

[ChaChaDave]

DHINCHIK

[Karapangadu]

[kuttirat]

i saw ur video and tried it..it came out excellent...just like how it comes in restaurants..My hubby loved it...As a new cook, trying to experiment, and wanting to please my hubby, your videos are the best for beginners! Thank you vachef, you rock!

[kyaati]

Have a question since long..,wat do v do vth the left over oil after deep frying..? can v reuse them or is it just a waste..?

Please answer me vahchef as v really need a lot of oil for kebabs and frying other stuffs..

[shantikiran1000]

@kyaati hey we can always reuse it wid curries.. n it gives a nice flavor...

[M4037331]

what do i eat this wth.....sorry im not south indian, just learning how to make south indian food...

[ArgoSG]

@M4037331 Try with coconut chutney, do a search and vah chef's recipe will be the first video. If you can make both masala vada and coconut chutney using vah chef's recipes, it will be a flavor explosion.

[surapaneni]

@M4037331 It's better you eat as is!

[queenshims]

[simrajain2]

[rekkhabusy]

With regard to masala vada I add ginger and fennel seeds while grinding. Try it, taste good as well.

[kpalv]

[mussches]

I´ve been waiting for this recipe for a life time. My mum used to make this every now and again for tea in an Indian home in Malaysia. We would wake from an afternoon nap after school to hot tea and vada. Thank you.

[stripedchair]

in kerala people eat this with banana, ..for whatever reason

[kavita1974]

Hello vahchef thank you very much for giving good receipes

i really like your all vegetarian receipes. thanku once again kavita

[secube]

[plumsfor2000]

Try adding Fennal Seeds instead of Cinnamon sticks, it will taste better.

[vahchef]

that would be maharastrian version

[skfriend2010]

@vahchef Excellent recipe! tried it many times. tried it with Fennel seeds and it definitely tastes better with Fennel than Cinnamon....

[DrRudester]

hey... you didn't add curry leaves! They add an excellent flavour to the vadai

[vahchef]

i did add , i did say in the video curry leaves coriander leaves and gr chilli

[rojapooh]

mouth watering!!!!!
