Cabbage Vada | Gobi Vada | How to Make Cabbage Vada Recipe with step-by-step photos
Gobi Vada or vadai is an Indian
crispy, crunchy, spicy, and delicious deep-fried snack, made from coarsely ground Lentils or Dal and other basic
ingredients, the most common one is made with split white gram (mash)
Cabbage
vada is a kind of vadai that is again made with either mixed dals or
only with mashed dal or chana dal and cabbage is the main ingredient used, The cabbage vada recipe can be made
in 2 ways, the first one is just adding up cabbage to make vada batter, the other method is shared in this post using chana dal, the taste doesn’t come anywhere close to the chana pakora (kachri). But
is almost made the same way with slight changes in the ingredients
Honestly
speaking as much as even tried Indian recipes they all looked delicious and
mouthwatering, As
I said before I soon would share Indian recipes as I become a success to get authentic Indian recipes so readers today that day has come when I brought authentically
Indian crunchy and tasty snack cabbage vada
recipe for you
Trust
me this is quite an amazing snack that goes well with masala chai or Doodhpatti chai, here I used dry red chili for making spicy if you don’t
like much spicy can be skipped from the recipe, So
let’s begin
To
prepare this recipe first wash the chana dal and soak it in enough water for about 4-5 hours
Grate
the cauliflower and set aside
Take
the rest of the ingredients and also prepare them all
In
the food processor put spices, just run the chopper for a few seconds
Now put soaked chana dal into the chopper machine and just pulse it without adding
water, no grinding, pulse it for only a few minutes to keep the mixture coarse
Add the ground mixture to the grated cabbage along with the remaining spices
Now
start to keep mixing by adding hot oil until everything is incorporated, hot oil
will keep it juicy, set
this aside for a while, Begin to heat oil for frying on a medium heat
Divide
the dough into 10-12 balls, press and flatten them with a greased hand
Repeat
the same process and prepare all patties
When
the oil is hot enough, drop the vada and check the oil temperature if it
quickly comes on top this means the oil is too hot we don’t require much hot oil
because the patty outer crust will quickly get golden brown, and remain uncooked
inside
Reduce
the heat to low and slide the patties carefully in medium hot oil one after the
other, For each batch, I fried about 4 patties
Turn
up the flame to medium flame and let them fry undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, before flipping check the patty with the help of any metal tool, once they become firm turn their sides
Constantly
keep stirring around so that color comes evenly on the vada
Drain
them on a kitchen tissue
This
is good for the evening snack
