Maddur Vada

A small town enroute to Mysore is Maddur. When we travel by buses to Mysore, they usually stop at Maddur; Once the bus stops, the vendors crowd the buses selling these savory treats to passengers through the windows, this is my fond memory of the Maddur Vada!!!
There are plenty of local restaurants that carry these authentic tasty snacks. I have tried to replicate this dish. Do try and relish them.

Ingredients:
Fine Sooji/Chiroti Rava : 1 cup.
Rice Flour : 1/2 cup.
Maida/All purpose flour : 1/2 cup.
Red onion : 1large.
Green Chilies : 6-7 finely chopped.
Curry Leaves : Finely chopped.
Oil to fry.
Salt.

Method:
Start by heating oil for deep frying. Simultaneously, in a large mixing bowl, add diced onions, chilies, and curry leaves. To the same bowl add rava, rice flour and maida. Mix the ingredients with required quantity of salt.
To this mixture, add hot oil from the frying pan. This makes the vadas crispy. Oil should be hot enough so it turns frothy when added to the mixture. Slowly mix the ingredients with required quantity of water to make a stiff dough. Take lemon size balls and press them into flat rounds, (do not make them too thin) with a hole in the center for even frying.
Fry them till they turn golden brown in a medium flame.
Drain the excess oil on paper towels and serve them hot or at room temperature, as is or with chutney.
Enjoy!
