Bhajani vade ~ Multi-grain Puff

Bhajani vade are specially made for "Mangalagouri Puja" in Hindu's holly month Shravan. They are very flavorful, tasty and healthy too. These are easy to digest to in rainy season. Thalipeeth bhajani (multi grain flour) is used for making these Vade.




Ingredients: 

• Thalipith Bhajani- 1 cup 
• Fresh coriander, finely chopped- a handful 
• Sesame seeds- 1 tbsp 
• Red chili powder- 1 tsp 
• Asafoetida (hing)- ¼ tsp 
• Turmeric powder- ½ tsp 
• Carom seeds- 1 tsp (optional) 
• Salt- to taste 
• Hot oil (mohan)- 1 tbsp 
• Warm water- approx ¾ cup 
• Oil for deep frying- as required 

Method:

• Combine thalipith bhajani, red chili powder, turmeric powder, hing, sesame seeds, carom seeds, chopped coriander and salt in a mixing bowl. 
• Mix well. 
• Add very hot oil to it. Let it cool little bit. 
• Add hot water to the mixture and knead it into a semi-hard dough. Add the water in little by little while kneading the dough. 
• The dough should be kneaded nicely. Once done, cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. 
• Heat oil for deep frying. Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal balls. 
• Take a small plastic sheet. Apply little water. Place 1 dough ball on it and pat and make round vada. Poke with finger in center. 
• Deep fry vada over high to medium heat until nicely done from both sides. 
• Drain it on a absorbent paper. 
• Serve hot with curd. 

Notes:

• While making Thalipith Bhajani, if dals are not properly roasted, vada doesn't become crispy. 
• If the Vada breaks during frying, then add either wheat flour or rice flour to the dough and also increase the seasoning accordingly.
