Parippu vada/ Daal vada


In our place, kerala daal vadas are made of Toor daal. But since i met my dear friend sasikala who introduced me to the Tamil cuisine i have been making daal vadas with channa daal. And ofcourse its tastier than the ones i used to make!

For this you'll need

1 cup channa daal soaked for 3-4 hrs
1 onion finely sliced
3-4 green chillies finely sliced
1 tbsp saunf or fennel seeds
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
salt to taste
oil for deep frying


  • grind the daal into a fine paste with out adding water
  • mix the rest of the ingredients to it
  • make small patties and deep fry!

Chicken cutlets


I love cutlets.. veg or non veg this is my all time fav snack. My daughter also started liking it now so thats another reason why i should make this often!

As i said in my earlier post the masalas in the recipe are not the exact as my son was sick i couldnt make out how much i added. But in the end it turned out to be yummmy and crispy!

200 grms chicken cooked and shredded
2 large potatoes boiled and mashed.
1 large onion finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2 green chills chopped finely
1 tbsp coriander pwdr
1/2 tbsp garam masala
lots of coriander leaves chopped finely
3 white bread (1 day old) or 1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg beaten
oil for shallow frying

Heat some in a kadai and add the onions. When they are brown add the ginger garlic paste and fry for another few mts. When both are mixed well add the shredded chicken and mashed potatoes to it and mix well. fry again for 2-3 mts and add the coriander pwdr and garam masala to it. Mix well and add the fresh coriander leaves to it. Let the mixture cool.

Cut small pieces of the bread and run through the mixer (the small jar) and it will turn to bread crumbs. You can also use the ready made bread crumbs.

When the mixture is cooled make small tikkis of it. Dip the tikkis in the egg and then dip in the bread crunbs. Make sure that it is well covered with the crunbs. And shallow fry.
