A Surprise Gift Before Going For A Vacation

We are going for a vacation to India for a month. Before We go I am giving a surprise gift to my blog viewers. If you have kids enjoy the rhymes (with videos & lyrics). If you are getting bored play 'Sudoku'.

Here I am introducing one more blog "My English Collections".

After coming back will post "Tomato Chaat" and "Perugu Aavada (Dahi Vada)".
For "Tomato Chaat" I made from "Ruchii". So, Click on the picture for the recipe. But I have added lemon juice too.

For "Perugu Aavada (Dahi Vada)", I made vada without onions and I dropped them in salted water for a minute then squeezed the excess water from it which made the vadas soft. (But don't keep them for long. ) Keep them in another bowl. Then beat curds till soft without adding water to it. Grind 6-7 green chilies, 2-3 inches of ginger, coriander leaves (optional) and enough salt to it. Add this paste to the curd. Adjust salt. Mix nicely. Now pour this beaten curd on the top of the squeezed vadas. The Vadas should completely immerse in the curd gravy. They should be soaked in the curd gravy nicely.

Season it with oil, urad dal, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chilies, hing & curry leaves. Pour this on the top of the dahi vada.

For more details watch this video. He is my guru for the vadas and for dahi vadas too.
