In a kadhai, mix rice flour, curd, water, salt, black pepper, grated ginger, chopped green chillies, and chopped coriander leaves until a smooth batter forms.
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
Take small portions of the batter, roll them into balls, and make a hole in the center to form the vada shape.
Carefully drop the vadas into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the vadas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Grind coriander leaves, chopped coconut, green chillies, ginger, roasted peanuts, salt, and tamarind water into a smooth paste.
Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds, urad dal, asafoetida, chopped green chilli, curry leaves, and dry red chilli. Sauté until aromatic.
Pour the tempering over the prepared chutney and mix well.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the vadas to make them crispy.
You can adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chillies.
Serve the vadas hot for the best taste and texture.
Can I use any other flour instead of rice flour?
Rice flour is essential for this recipe as it gives the vadas their unique texture. Substituting it may alter the taste and texture.
Can I bake the vadas instead of frying?
While frying gives the vadas their signature crispiness, you can try baking them at a high temperature, but the texture may differ.
How do I store leftover vadas?
Store leftover vadas in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in an oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness.
Can I make the chutney ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the chutney ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
What can I serve with these vadas?
These vadas pair well with coconut chutney, tamarind chutney, or even ketchup for a quick snack.
