Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina also known as sooji
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1/4 tsp Mustard Seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Mix together the semolina, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and mustard seeds in a large bowl.
- Add the yogurt, grated carrot, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Gradually add water, a little at a time, until you achieve a slightly thick, but pourable batter. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
Shape and Air Fry the Vadas
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Lightly grease your air fryer basket.
- Take small portions of the batter and shape them into small, flat patties (vadas).
- Arrange the vadas in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry the vadas for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Serve
- Remove the crispy vadas from the air fryer and serve them hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Semolina Vadas
- For extra crispy vadas, let the batter rest for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the moisture.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; this will ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Adjust the air frying time depending on your air fryer and the size of your vadas. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Experiment with adding other vegetables like finely chopped onions or green chilies to the batter for added flavor and texture.
