Aval Vadai (Poha Vada)



Tried this from Edible Garden and it turned out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really liked it. Thanks for the recipe :)

Ingredients:
Aval/Poha/Rice flakes - 1 cup
Gram flour - 1-2 tbsp
Rice flour - 1-2 tbsp
Salt
Onion chopped - 1/2 cup
Green chilli chopped  - 1
Hing - a pinch
Coriander leaves chopped- 1 tbsp
Curry leaves - a few
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Grated Ginger/Garlic - 1 tsp
Oil - To deep fry

Method:
Wash poha and rinse. Set aside for 10 minutes till it turns soft.
Add rest of the ingredients and form a dough. Add little water if necessary (I added less than 1/4 cup of water).
If the mixture becomes soggy, add some more rice flour/gram flour.
Shape them into 1/4 inch thick discs.
Deep fry till golden brown.
Serve hot with ketchup!
