Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Maize Flour makki ka atta
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder red
- 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Garam Masala
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Water or as needed to form a stiff dough
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine maize flour, red chili powder, sesame seeds, garam masala, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a stiff, slightly crumbly dough forms. Do not overmix.
Incorporate the Aromatics
- Add the chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves to the dough. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Shape the Vadas
- Take approximately 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball between your palms to form a small, disc-shaped vada. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Fry the Vadas
- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the vadas, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the vadas until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the crispy maize flour vadas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Maize Flour Vadas
- For extra crispy vadas, ensure the dough is not too soft. A slightly dry consistency works best.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the vadas. This will ensure even cooking and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference.
- For a variation, add finely chopped vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the dough.
