Tea Kadai Masal Vadai
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
Am running from today onwards with an another super interesting theme for this weeks blogging marathon,do you want to know about the theme?? its Tea Kadai Menu, Tea kadai or tea stall have their important place in India and you can find them in every corner of the streets in most of the cities and villages. Its a place where peoples from village or city enjoy their cup of tea with snacks and have their routine discussions about cinema news, gossips,politics likewise. Seriously tea kadais are the ancestors of todays coffee shops.
Whenever we go to our grandmas village which is near to Tindivanam, our relative from my grandmas village who owns his tea stall in a main road between Tindivanam and Villupuram, never forget to serve his famous tea during our stay in the village bus stop as the bus service to our grandmas place are limited. The smell of fried masal vadais from his tea kadai,oh my god i cant forget it even today . When i picked this theme i know ill be making tea kadai style masal vadai coz this theme makes me nostalgic. The masal vadai am posting today is completely a village style masal vadai where most of the ingredients are grinded together and fried as vadais with chopped onions and curry leaves.

I prepared few green moongdal sprouts last weekend at home and prepared with them these beautiful crispy vadas for the Tamil new year celebration. Seriously this vadas are simply awesome, tastes exactly like our usual channadal masal vadas.
They goes awesome as side dish as well as an excellent evening snacks when served along with some spicy chutney.Sprouted moongdal suits tremendousmy awesome for making this healthy fritters,yep since they have prepared with sprouts eventhough they are deep fried, these vadas are definitely healthy.We couldnt stop munching them and enjoyed along with sago kheer.Sending this vadas to my own event Healthy Diet-Cooking with Sprouts hosted by Roshni and to Only Legumes guest hosted by Nalini,event by Pari.
