Soya Chunks Vada | Mom's Bookmarked Recipe

This is my mom’s bookmarked recipe. She saw it in a TV show sometime back and tried it out. She was very much impressed with the outcome and suggested it to me and a gave a foot long explanation or that was how it seemed to me. But lazy me was not ready to go through such a tedious process. So just skipped it out of my mind. When my mom came over for her monthly vacation, the first thing I asked her to make was this which she had bragged about a lot and true to it, it was nice with a very different flavor which I liked and Mr.A didn’t. Anyways, I would like to make this often and hence moused down mom’s instructions…


~*What U Need*~
Grated coconut – 2 tbsp
Soya chunks – 10
Channa dhal – ½ cup

Green chilli – 1

Curry leaves – 1 sprig

Shallots – 7

Aniseed/Sombu – ½ tsp

Hing powder – 1 pinch
Salt – to taste
Ginger – a small piece
Oil for frying

How I made it
Clean and soak the channa dhal for 1 hour.

Soak the soya chunks in hot water for 10 mins and drain the excess water
Coarsely grind the channa dhal.
Pulse the coconut, green chilli, curry leaves, shallots, ginger and aniseeds in the mixie for 1 pulse. To this mixture add the soya chunks and coarsely grind.
Mix the soya mixture with the channa dhal.

To this add hing powder and salt and combine well

Shape it into vadas and fry in oil till evenly browned.

Serve as evening snack / with rice !!!
