Ingredients

  • Curd vadai batter (prepared as in the Thair Vadai recipe)
  • Green chili (deseeded and very finely minced)
  • Ginger (finely chopped)
  • Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
  • Nuts or lentils (chopped)
  • Thick curd (for soaking)

Instructions

  1. Deseed a green chili and mince it very fine. Mix this with finely chopped ginger, coriander leaves, and chopped nuts or lentils.
  2. Once the vadai batter is patted out on a damp cloth, sprinkle a little of this mixture on top. Lift the edge of the cloth and fold the vadai in half across the middle.
  3. What was sprinkled on top now folds inward, and the vadai ends up half-round, shaped like a samosa. Lift it off as is and deep-fry it, then use it as a curd vadai. Garnish on top as described in the Thair Vadai recipe's note.
