• Aval – 1 Tablespoon
•  Onions – 15 thoughts
•  Green Chillies – 2 Tbs (large)
•  Cumin – 1 tbsp

• Recipe 
• Add it to the mixer and grind it finely.
• Peel the green chillies and cut them into rounds.
• Peel and finely chop the curry leaves.
• Chop the coriander leaves into fine powder.
• Take idli flour in a bowl, add powdered alava to it, mix well and keep it for ten minutes.

 

• It soaks well and thickens the idli batter into a batter.
• Add chopped spring onions, green chillies, cumin seeds, bunch of coriander leaves and curry leaves to the amma and mix well.

• Knead the dough into a vada shape.
• If the dough is too thick, sprinkle some water.
• If the batter is loose, grind some more avala and soak it.
• Dip your hand in water and take the dough and pat it into a vada. If so, it means that the flour is in the right condition.
• If the dough is thick, the vada will be difficult.
• If the dough is loose, it will absorb more oil. So the flour should be kept in proper condition.
• Pour oil in a pan and let it dry.
• When the oil heats up and steams on its surface, drop a small portion of the dough into the oil.
• The batter will sink in and rise immediately with bubbles. This is the right way to dry the oil and make the vadas.
• Now wet your hand with water and take the required amount of dough and pat it flat or round.

• Knead the dough by hand until the air bubbles are well formed each time you take the dough.
• By doing this, the vada rises well and becomes soft and tasty.
• Once the vada is cooked on one side, turn it over and fry it and drain the oil well. Delicious idli dough is ready.
• Serve it with coconut chutney , kara chutney, mint chutney .
• This can be done in the evening for children who are leaving school.
