How to make Crispy Potato Semolina Vada with Spicy Chutney

Prepare the Chutney

  1. Step 1

    Grate the pumpkin and potatoes well, then wash them thoroughly with water.

  2. Step 2

    In a pan, dry roast the dried red chilies and garlic, then put them in the mixer.

  3. Step 3

    Add roasted chickpeas, grated coconut, tamarind, salt, and water, and grind it all together.

  4. Step 4

    Temper the chutney with oil, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida.

Prepare the Vada

  1. Step 1

    In another pan, heat some oil, and once hot, add cumin seeds, green chilies, ginger, and salt.

  2. Step 2

    When the water comes to a boil, add the grated pumpkin and potatoes.

  3. Step 3

    Once it boils again, add semolina and mix it well.

  4. Step 4

    When the semolina thickens, add chopped coriander leaves, cover it, and let it sit for five minutes.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Make sure to fry the vadas in hot oil to ensure they turn crispy and golden brown.

  2. Adjust the spice level of the chutney by adding fewer or more red chilies as per your preference.

  3. Use fresh coconut for a richer flavor in the chutney.

FAQS

  1. Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

    Yes, sweet potatoes can be used for a slightly sweeter flavor.

  2. Can I bake the vadas instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, but they may not be as crispy as fried ones.

  3. How long can I store the chutney?

    The chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

  4. Can I skip the tamarind pulp in the chutney?

    Tamarind adds a tangy flavor, but you can substitute it with lemon juice or skip it if preferred.

  5. What oil is best for frying the vadas?

    Vegetable oil or sunflower oil works best for frying as they have a neutral flavor.
