Rasam vadai recipe, rasa vadai preparation

February 9, 2018 by Raks Anand Leave a Comment / Jump to Recipe

How to make rasam vadai with full video and step by step pictures. Quick and easy rasam recipe, and an easy dal vada recipe to go with each other.

I tasted rasa vadai once or twice in restaurants. Otherwise make it with leftovers. Once in a family function at home, the cook who came to our home forgot to add salt in paruppu vadai. So we added the vadas in rasam. It turned out really good. I have not made exclusively for making rasam vadai.

Couple of years back when I posted a rasam vadai picture in facebook, few readers asked for recipe, but I already have posted lot of vadai varieties like sambar vadai, thayir vadai, cabbage vadai, keerai vadai all with ulundu vadai.



So when recently started seeing bonda rasam in instagram posts by friends, I really got tempted. A reader friend also suggested to post. But somehow I wanted to make it with paruppu vadai. What I saw in Instagram as bonda rasam is probably with urad dal bonda. I decided to do it with paruppu vadai as suggested by the reader friend. I was bit skeptical if I make bonda, it would get cooked inside or not. So made as vadai and dropped in.

Notes

  • Soaking chana dal as mentioned and grinding without water coarsely is important to get perfect texture.
  • Cook vadai in medium flame after dropping the vadai in hot oil. Otherwise, it wont get cooked inside properly.
  • You can use store bought rasam powder (2 tsp) in place of freshly ground in case you are lazy to grind powder.
  • As soon as you finish making rasam, vadas should be dunked immediately for soft vadai in rasam.
  • You can use leftover rasam or leftover vadai for preparing this. Just make sure either on of it is hot.
