TAHUDAI! Yes, VADAI WITH TOFU! -தஹுடை! - வடை வித் டோபு

தஹுடை!- வடை வித் டோபு
Back from my sojourn with two new tofu recipes!
Yes. It was Pongalo Pongal day. As I was preparing the pauppu vadai ingredients, an idea flashed in my mind- yes! exactly like how you see in cartoons. I changed the company of variety ingredients that day! I took equal parts of Toor dal, Channa dal, Urad dal and firm tofu. Incidentally, I learnt Tofu is called as Tahu in tamil and hence the new recipe name! Soaked them for sometime, added green chillies, coriander leaves, salt and asafoetida, turmeric powder. Just be careful to make the dough thick, as the tofu makes it a little soggy.
Take a sauce pan with oil, bring to boil and drop your vadas. Remove when golden brown. They look good, taste good and you can have less guilt after eating , say a dozen vadas? (just kidding! however much you normally have).

Serve with coriander or cocoanut chutney or ketch up for a quick snack.
Add a pongal, sambhar and thayir satham and you ahve a complete meal.
Add sambhar rice, rasam rice, potato curry, avial, appalam, urugai, sweet... tastes yummy... There you have a grand feast.
Serve dipped in hot milagu rasam or as thayir vadai submerged in seasoned yoghurt; you have an extra special appetizer!


Happy cooking!
