Maddur Vada

Its Eid holidays here and each day we look forward to have some good tea time snack.  I made them yesterday as this is in my to do list for sometime.  No need to soak the dals, a kind of instant vada which you can make it very easily with few ingredients you have in you kitchen.

Ingredients

Onions : 1 cup finely chopped

Green chilli  crushed : 5 nos.
Curry leaves : 2 sprigs finely chopped
Coriander leaves: 3 sprigs chopped
All purpose flour : ¼  cup
Semolina : 1 cup
Rice flour: ¾ cup
salt as required
Hot oil : 3 tbsp
Hing – a big pinch
Cumin crushed – 1 tsp
Peanut (fried and broken )  - 3 tbsp
Coconut grated – 2 tbsp
Water  as much as needed

Oil for deep frying

Sago & Kiwi Payasam

After a big break I am back here again. How are  you all doing? 

Recently I received a complimentary box of Gold kiwi fruits from Zespri.  I have tried the green ones from Zespri they are so fresh and yummy. This time it was a box of gold Kiwi, they were so firm from out but very sweet, fresh  and yummy, I have never had a gold kiwi earlier and this was the first time I got to taste this delicious fruit. I loved it more than the green one.

Zespri Kiwifruit contain so many vitamins and minerals, they’re truly bursting with natural goodness. The powerful combination of vitamins C and E, potassium, folate, and dietary fibre, gives Zespri Kiwifruit one of the highest nutrient density and adequacy scores compared to other common fruit.  I had made this  payasam with kiwi pulp, it was so delicious.
