Vada curry recipe / Chettinad vadacurry recipe with step by step pics and a short YOUTUBE video. If you like my video, please Like it, Share it and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel. Vada curry is nothing but our regular masal vadai, cooked in tomato-based gravy and tempered with aromatic spices. If you are grinding for masala vada, soak little bit extra to prepare this flavourful gravy. The only extra process is making the vada, that too if you have any leftover vada, the same can be used. It pairs up well with almost all the tiffin items like idli, dosa, idiyappam, set dosa and even poori, chapati too…..

Instructions
 

  • Soak channa dal in water for minimum 2 hours. Rinse well and drain the water completely. To a mixer, add the drained channa dal, red chilli, fennel seeds and grind it to a coarse paste. Just sprinkle very little water and grind it. (If you have any leftover masal vadai, the same can be used).
  • Transfer the grounded dal to a bowl, add required salt and mix well.

Tips for Vada curry Recipe

For the Vada
1. Soak the channa dal for minimum of 2 hours, else the vada turns hard.
2. For a different taste, little toor dal can be soaked along with channa dal.
3. For a low-calorie version, the grounded vada batter can be steamed in an idli plate for 10 minutes.
4. Instead of frying in oil, the vada can be prepared in an appam pan (shallow frying) by adding very little oil.
5. If you have any leftover masal vadai in hand, the same can be used to prepare this Chettinad vadacurry recipe.
6. Don’t skip black stone flower, as it lends more flavour to the dish.
7. I pureed the tomato, as it gives more volume and nice tangy taste to the gravy. It can be finely chopped and used too.
8. For more aroma, few mint leaves can be used for this vada curry recipe.
9. Always prepare the dish 1 hour before serving, so the vada absorbs the gravy and tastes too good.
10. As the vada absorbs the gravy soon, adjust water quantity before serving.

    That sounds delicious Priya. This recipe seems good all by itself too other than as a side dish.
