Vada | Vadai is a popular South Indian dish, served with breakfast or as a tea time snack. I have posted many varieties of vada recipes in Jeyashri’s Kitchen. Usually Urad dal vada is the popular one in South Indian cuisine. But for that little planning is needed. We need to soak and grind the urad dal and make that vada. This Sooji vada | semolina vada is an instant vada recipe. Even if you have guests at home on very short notice, you can make this vada. Even beginners who do not have much practice in making perfect ulundu vadas, can try this Rava vada. This Rava vada recipe is similar to the Rava kunukku which I posted a few years back. The vadas turned out very crisp and it tasted very yum too. We had this with coconut chutney. Rava vada batter stays good in the refrigerator for one day. Check out the notes section of the post to see the tips to get perfect vadas. Also check out
