Banana Vada

Aratikaya Vadalu



Ingredients:

Gram dal or channa dal-2 cups
Raw plantains-2
Chopped green chilli-2
Chopped coriander leaves-1 tablespoon
Mint leaves-few
Ginger and garlic paste-1 teaspoon
One small chopped onion
Garam masala-1 teaspoon
Salt-1 teaspoon
Oil for deep fry





Method:

1. Soak the gram dal for two hours and cut and boil the plantains until they become soft.

2. Wash the dal and grind coarsely into a paste. Takeout the skin and smash the boiled pieces.

3. Make a dough by mixing mashed bananas, coarsely grinded dal, green chilli, coriander and mint leaves, salt, chopped onion, garam masala powder and ginger and garlic paste.

4. Heat oil in a frying pan and take small balls of dough and pat on a plastic sheet into circular shapes.


5. Fry them until brown and serve hot with any sauce.


My daughter enjoys having vada with sauce but the problem is with my son. How to make him taste them? Flash….. I cut a burger bun into two halves and toast it slightly. Took out the buns and arranged lettuce, purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes and cheese layers on them. Then placed the vada along with sour cream and chilli sauce. I then closed the buns and served it to my son. He had it happily and my problem was solved:)



Two in one recipe…….




Yummy veggie burger…..with banana vada…..


Note: Not all vada are suitable for the burger.
