First of all before I start, I would like to apologize for not being able to update ”My Kitchen” with new recipes since I had been on a vacation enjoying with my cousin and nephew at my paternal native place and after returning back to my home, I was a little busy. But now I am back with my new recipes. I learnt many recipes from my aunt during my stay at my paternal native, will post it very shortly.
Thaikile Ambodo (in Konkani) is a seasonal recipe of GSB cooking. Thaikile is a sort of a weed found at your garden or at the hillside or by the side of the road. It’s usually grown only during rainy season. It’s available in markets during this season. My sister enjoys eating this vada for afternoon lunch especially, it’s her favorite. Its tastes really good when it’s eaten hot; rather than when cools down to room temperature. Very easy recipe can be prepared in an half an hour or less time say 15 mins if every ingredient is kept ready beforehand.
First let me tell you all how to prepare the batter or masala for vada
INGREDIENTS (FOR MASALA)
½ cup White rice
¼ cup Toor Dal (Togari Bele in Kannada and Tori Dali in Konkani)
1 tsp rock salt
8-9 dried red chilies (preferably long ones 5 and 3 to 4 round ones)
+
(FOR VADA)
1 full cup of Thaikile leaves
1 cup of coconut oil (any oil for deep frying purpose)
METHOD TO PREPARE:
1) Soak the White Rice and Dal for about half an hour or a hour previous to preparation of vada. (TIP: The more u soak in water less amount of water required to be added when you grind them.)
2) Grind the soaked White Rice, Dal along with dried Red chilies and salt crystals .No need to add water at first run. If water is required only then add little water during second run. It should be in thicker consistency (TIP: If masala found to be a little watery add little besan to it, this will absorb water content and make masala thicker in its consistency.)
3) After the Masala gets ready take it in an utensil.
4) Clean and Chop the Thaikile leaves into smaller pieces.
5) Add the chopped Thaikile leaves to the ground masala/ vada batter.
6) Mix the chopped Thaikile leaves thoroughly along with masala.
7) Now take Coconut oil in Kadai and keep it for heating for around 5 mins. Simultaneously make the smaller balls out of this vada batter and give a slight press on its upper surface so that it gets a little flattened.
8) Now drop in these flattened vada balls into the heated oil one by one. Let it get deeply fried; remove the vada when it turns into reddish brown deep color.
9) Serve the Hot ತೊಜಂಕ ಅಂಬಡೆ / Thaikile Ambodo in a serving plate and is ready to eat along with rice and Dal for Lunch.
Hope you all loved this recipe too…..Enjoy this recipe till I write my next recipe till then
Happy Cooking!!!! and Thank you for your visit at my space…..
