I came across many versions of Vada Curry in the blogosphere in the past 2 years or so but I never had the chance to make this curry so far. The reason being folks at home don't believe in setting aside Masala Vada :) Now there came a day when we were expecting visitors and I had made masala vada en masse. It turned out that the visitors had to suddenly cancel their visit. That is how my version of the Masala Vada Curry happened!!
So here is the Masala Vada Curry for the 6th day of Srivalli's Blogging Marathon - Edition 9. Check out my fellow marathoners here.
Ingredients -
Masala Vada 10 nos (Chana Dal , Onion, Green Chillies, Salt, Ginger, Mint)
Onion finely chopped 3/4 cup
Tomato puree (I used fresh) 3/4 cup
Ajwain/Vaamu 1 tsp
Ginger-Garlic Paste 1 tsp
Red Chilli Powder just a dash (Remember I made this for the kids)
Salt as needed
Garnish with coriander leaves (My kids don't like the garnish but just for the picture :) )
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Jeera 1/2 tsp)
Method Of preparation -
In a heated sauce pan, add oil and jeera. After jeera browns enough saute the onions until they are translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste and saute until the raw smell goes away. Add the tomato puree and ajwain (Vaamu) powder. Add more water if required.
Break the Masala Vada into bite sized pieces and mix it into the simmering gravy.
Add salt and red chilli powder to taste.
Let the flavors blend in and remove from fire in 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
I felt that the vada absorbed all the gravy making the curry a little dry but the kids liked it with rice, so no worries!!
