Vadaaaaaa....., just the name of it makes me drool!! After chicken , if i like anything is - vada! (People who are following my bog closely , know my craze for chicken).
I remember during my pregnancy days, i used to crave for vada's daily.. Yes , daily:) .. No wonder i had put on 27 kgs during my pregnancy.
Goutam had really tough time during my pregnancy. I used to sit in the middle of the night asking for varied stuff( he only knew to cook Lemon rice - that's a diff story). I remember dragging him around 6AM for more than 30- 40 kms just to eat that crispy vadas.
Now that i have a 7 year old son , stopped bugging him with all my cravings. Tejas keeps us so busy , we don't think or care for our cravings anymore.. Ya that's part of the other innings of life..
This weekend was crazy as i woke up and wanted to eat vada at any cost. Now that's when i think about making this Rava Vada which is the close brother of Urad Dal Vada:)
My tummy was soo kush.. Not sure how many vadas i gulped. I was not thinking of any calorie consumption..Will make this up by walking few extra kms today, that's my new fond love.
Here, you go lovely people .. Sharing this wonderful recipe . Do share your pictures.
