DO_BATATA VADA

We always use to make aloo vada or bonda with besan batter. But here is my recipe which is influenced by Maharashtra’s renowned Chef- Chef Vishnu Manohar ji. Here at my place, there was his restaurant few years back where they used to serve Do-Batata Vada. I was very curious about the dish and very excited to know what actually the dish is. Finally, one day we orederd it and there is the end of my eagerness. It is nothing but our humble batata vada but instead of using besan/ gram flour batter for coating, he used dosa batter to cover the potato mixture. All excitement stopped there and from that day it is my favourite dish as I am a die hard fan of South Indian dosa, idli , vada sambar and can servive on this.  Here there is no hard rules in preparing these vada or bonda, the addition of quantities of ingredients is purely left to suit your taste buds. Even you can try out this recipe when there is leftover dosa batter and you are fade up off making regular idli, dosa. Try this recipe and I bet you will love it, once you start eating them it is difficult to stop. Prepare this as an evening snack with tea or in festival lunch. Just take a precaution that if using leftover dosa batter then use it at room temperature. Try this variation which tastes nice crispy on the outer side and spicy inside.  


INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Dosa Batter
2 Cups Spicy Batata Vada Sabzji [see notes]
2 teaspoon Oil
Appe pan

METHOD:
STEP 1 – Grease each hole of appe pan with little oil and heat it.
STEP 2 – Make small lemon size balls with batata bhaji.

STEP 3 - Deep batata vada in dosa batter
and then put it gently in each portion/ hole of appe pan.[see notes]
STEP 4 – Cover it and cook it for few minutes or till done from one side.
STEP 5 – Flip it with skewer or spoon and cook from another side.
Cook till golden brown and crispy on outer side.
STEP 6 – When done remove from appe pan and serve hot.
Serve hot do batata vada with mint chutney or tomato ketchup or coconut chutney and enjoy.
