Cabbage Wada - Cabbage Vada

Every cook loves the concept of reusability and creativity, but how about utilizing both at the same time! I had some urad dal batter left from my Dahi bhalle/vada preparation, so thought of making some crispy medu vada's from it. But then I thought of adding some twist & more flavor to it, thus the outcome Cabbage Vada/Wada.


Ingredients: 

1 cup of urad dal batter (soak 1/2 cup urad dal overnight & grind it to fine paste)
1/2 cup of Cabbage finely chopped
1 tbsp onion finely chopped (optional)
1 tsp of ginger paste
1 tsp green chili paste
pinch of asafoetida (hing)
pinch of black salt (optional)
2 tbsp of coriander finely chopped
salt & pepper to taste
Oil for deep frying


Method: 

Mix all the ingredients together to make the Cabbage Vada batter. 

Heat oil in a vessel. Take a spoonful of batter in your hand & make a small hole in the center to give it the shape of medu vada & gentle slide it into the hot oil.  


Deep fry on medium heat till golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper to soak away the access oil. 

That's it, our crispy Cabbage Vada/Wada's are ready. Serve them hot with a Green Chutney/sauce of your choice.

Enjoy
Happy Cooking!!
