Kothimbir Vadi



Kothmbir Vadi
Kothimbir Vadi is a starter / snack that are extremely popular among maharashtrians. When I was in Thane , I ate this many times at my maharashtrian friend’s home. It’s my favorite one. Simple and tasty. 
Ingredients
Coriander Leaves                               1 big bunch
Chick peas flour/besan                        1 cup
Peanut coarsely crushed                     2 tbsp.
Rice flour                                           1 Tbsp.
Ginger Paste                                       1 Tbsp.
Turmeric powder                                1/4 Tsp.
Green Chilies  paste                             1 tbsp
Asafetida                                           - A pinch
Sugar                                                     1Tsp.
Salt                                                     to taste
Baking soda (optional)                         1/8 Tsp.
Oil                                                     for Shallow fry 

For Seasonings:
Oil                                                     1 Tsp.
White Sesame seeds                          1 Tbsp.
Dry coconut                                       2 Tbsp.
Curry leaves                                      few 


Method:
  • Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl with water except oil to get a thick batter without any lumps.
  • For Steaming I have used steamer trays. You can also use Idli moulds.
  • Grease the idli moulds/ Steamer trays with oil. Add batter to it and steam for 20 minutes.
  • Let it cool then unmold .If you are using steamer trays then after unmolding cut into slices.
  • Heat oil in a pan.  Now, shallow fry the Vadis till they turn golden brown and crispy.
  • Heat oil, fry all seasonings and add to the wadis.
  • Serve hot with any spicy chutney or sauce.
Note:
  • Shallow fry or deep fry the Kothimbir Wadis as per your choice. 
  • You can freeze these vadis and its stays up to 2 months.
