VADACURRY
Simple version of Vadacurry. For Usual vadacurry we need to soak the channa dhal for 3 hrs or more. In this one. I ve given my instant version of vada curry recipe.
Steam cook channa dhal if you have no time to soak it and then grind to paste with other spices. Make vadas and either deep fry them or if health specific then steam cook them again instead of deep frying. Never mind if its not going to be stiff. It gives additional flavour if its mixes easily with curry.
