Ingredients Needed:
Fresh Coconut, grated - 1 cup
Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
Besan / Gram Flour - 3 tbsp
Red Chili powder - 1 tsp
Fried Gram flour / Putnala podi - 1 tbsp
Ajwain Seeds/ Vamu - 1/4 tsp
Bread Crumbs as required
Corn Flour - 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil for deep fry
Method to prepare:
Grate the coconut fresh. Take it in a bowl along with ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, besan, fried gram flour, corn flour and Vamu. Mix well
Sprinkle little water just enough for it to hold together. Divide into equal balls, and flat them into round vadas. Make sure they hold their shape.
Roll these vadas over bread crumbs and deep fry them in hot oil. Remove these are fried on both sides
Notes:
Add just enough water for the mix to hold the shape.
In the pan, add very little oil for the vadas to be immersed and not as you deep fry your regular fritters.
You will feel the crunchy taste of Coconut when you bite into it.
Enjoy your Vadas with a cup of coffee!
Have a great weekend ahead.

I can't believe I've never had these before. They sound so delicious, Srivalli. My parents would make a fritter with ground-up udad dal and coconut and chillies etc, but I think I'll like your besan version better, partly because it'll be quicker. 🙂

Never tried this ..more so because we don't get food coconuts (they are often smelly) and we rely on frozen ones:(
