Another Gujarathi version of Mor kuzhambu(called pakaoda kadi) is made by adding Pakodas in the Mor kuzhambu.
If u let the pakodas soak in the kuzhambu for sometime, it tastes yummy.

Rasa Vadai is served in many resturants in Hyderabad. But being the purist i am when it comes to sambhar-vadai, i couldn't enjoy it much.

Yup... I have.. In Kadhambam restau, b'lore... the one that's in manipal centre... I like curd vadai better than sambar vadai or rasa vadai... but those are good too...

Discussing vadais, i have a big question. How on earth to get the Vadai shapes? My vadais tastes the same as my mom's crisp on the outside and soft inside, but the big difference is that mine are round balls, instead of the traditional shape.

Can anyone help me out with maintaining the shape of the vadais please?

Curd vadai n Sambhar vadai are usuals ! but Rasa vadai is not usual ... normally prepared only in homes ... that too only good n Paruppu rasam !

Dsath ... use a plastic cover like milk cover or something and wash it every time before u add maavu ......
take a urundai and put it over the cover ....
now dip ur hand in water (this is imp)
and then have ur middle, index and ring fingers together and pat the vada maavu and smoothly go left and right ... (not too many times)

this automativally gives the vadai its desited round shape

then put a hole in the middle and the put it over the oil pan

this may look funny just telling the way to do ... but certain imp stages .. mentioned in the bracket ... gives the desired shape

Try it out !

Thanks BG, will surely give it a go in the weekend.

Welcome Dsath !

well tis important to follow the ones given in bracket .... am re iterating it

Well Rasa vadai ,,, lemme come back to it ... it should not be there n rasam for too much time ... keep it for just 45 mins ... thats enough .. then u can still feel the taste of the vadai with paruppu rasam ... generally avoid putting that in hot rasam ... better to put in medium hot ! Preferrably eat at night ... after the vadais s a lil cold ... not very ! it shld not be hot !
