Ingredients

  • oil to deep fry

To mix:

  • 1 heaped cup aval(thin poha)
  • 2 tablespoon rice flour
  • 1 tablespoon curd
  • 1/3 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon jeera
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger finely chopped
  • 1 no green chillies finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coriander leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon curry leaves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • salt
  • water as needed

Instructions

  • Rinse poha well, drain water completely. By now it should have turned soft as I used thin poha. If you use thick poha then soak for few mins then proceed for it to soften. To a mixing bowl add all the ingredients listed under 'to mix'.
  • Mix this well first. Add little water if the mixture is too dry. The mixture should be moist and not too dry. Now make a small lemon sized ball.
  • Flatten it slightly. Repeat to finish.
  • Heat oil add the vadais in batches. Keep flame in medium flame, turn over and fry until golden brown. Repeat to finish. Enjoy Aval Vada!

Notes

  • Flame should be in medium while frying else it may drink more oil.
  • Also the mixture should be only slightly moist for it to hold together.
  • It should not too tight else it may crumble while frying.
  • I used thin poha so just while rinsing itself it became soft.
  • If you use thick poha you need to soak for few mins.
