I have made this recipe for a contest held in WWW.INDUSLADIES.COM for this month showcasing the culinarian day special with theme " International cuisine with a Desi touch" where they categorized in to four.
I have choosen the pasta category from list having an idea to post pasta Kheer/ payasam. When I am about to cook, suddenly stuck with an idea. Why can't we make vada using pasta?? This thought drag me to give this innovative successful recipes which turned out to a big hit in my family..Give a try & let me know your comments.
Ingredients:
Uncooked pasta - ½ cup
Basen / Chic pea flour - ⅓ cup
Rice flour - ⅓ cup
Onion - ½ (chopped)
Green chili - 1 (chopped)
Ginger garlic paste - ½ tsp each
Fennel seeds powder - 1 tsp
Red chili powder - ½ tsp or to taste
Coriander leaves/ Cilantro - as required
Curry leaves - 1 string or as required
Oil - 1tsp + For frying.
Salt - To taste.
Method:
- Cook pasta in required amount of water with few drops of oil and a pinch of salt or cook according to package directions.Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a mixing bowl add cooked pasta, chopped onions, chopped green chilies, Minced cilantro, besan flour, rice flour, red chili powder, fennel seed powder, Ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp of oil and salt together.
- Adjust salt to taste.
- Heat Oil in a pan in a medium heat, divide the dough into small equal portions.
- Shape them into ¼ inch thick discs.
- Drop them into oil, deep fry till golden brown.
- Serve hot with cup of coffee.
Note: Always use mini pasta for this recipe( I used macaroni flower pasta). Mix all the ingredients, if it is not sticky, drizzle some water.
If dough is more sticky add extra flour.
