PistaCerelacVada

Vada is South Indian Snack or breakfast. It can be had with idli or dosa.

Vada is mainly made up of dhal but I tried a different version.

I had brought cerelac to my second son, Aadya who is seven months old, did not like the flavor plain wheat. I had pista at home, which my first son Aditya did not like to eat. Hence these two were the main ingredient for me to make this vada.

Ingredients:

• Cerelac – 200 gms
• Coriander Leaves – ¼ bunch
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying
• Green Chillies  - 4
• Pista – few
• Chilli Powder – 1 tbsp
• Baking Soda – 1 tsp

Method:

1. Grind pista and green chillies into a paste
2. Take cerelac, put chopped coriander leaves, salt, pista and green chillies paste, baking soda, chilli powder, mix well.
3. Heat little oil and pour into this mixture.
4. Pour water make the mixture as a dough.
5. Heat the oil in a kadai.
6. Make small vadas from the dough and leave them till they become crispy.
7. Serve them with tomato ketchup or with chutney.

I gave this to my mom-in-law, Aditya and my maid-servant. They all told it was good in taste before they knew what all went inside the vada. Pat on my back.
