Masal Vadai Kuzhambu - Masala Vadai Kuzhambu

masal vadai kuzhambu - masala vadai kuzhambu

masala vadai kuzhambu - masala vadai/lentil fritters in a tangy sauce.finally ,i am sharing here and i made this last week for this chilling winter.It goes very well with the rice and papad.once you prepared the vadai/vada ,then you will finish this within minutes.You can also use leftover masala vadai for this recipe.

I already shared the recipe of masala vadai here,check it out for making vadas and follow the kuzhambu recipe here.I adapted this recipe from my Sithi(aunt),who made this months back and i helped here in making vadas only and followed the recipe.She added grated cabbage to the masala vada batter to make it more healthier and flavorful.I did not added cabbage for my vadas and you have to make the vadas in medium to small size.This makes the kuzhambu more appetizing and you have enough kuzhambu while serving.

Make your kuzhambu little watery or make that enough for soaking vadas.So you can get more kuzhambu for rice while serving.I made medium sized vadas for the kuzhambu for us,2 persons,so 1 added 7 to 9 vadas in the kuzhambu.
