Wishing you all a wonderful evening, my dear friends. How are you doing today? In the Sri Lankan and South Asian culinary traditions, vade (or vada) is a popular dish typically made from lentils, chickpeas, or other legumes. However, today, I plan to go beyond the traditional recipes and make a flavorful and nutritious vade using soy meat. This version will combine the crispy texture and satisfying taste of vade with added protein and richness from soy meat. Let’s explore how to prepare it while maintaining the delicate balance between taste and nourishment.
Required Ingredients...
🍀 Soy meat 85g.
🍀 1 Egg.
🍀 A finely chopped onion.
🍀 3 chopped green chillies or kochi chillies.
🍀 Chopped curry leaves.
🍀 Coconut oil for frying.
🍀 2 Tablespoon of chili powder.
🍀 Salt as needed.
🍀 1/2 teaspoon of Pepper powder.
🍀 3 Ttable spoon of Chickpea flour.
Method of making....
Next, soak the soy meat in water for a now while, then drain it. Using a blender, finely blend the soy meat until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Next, add the finely blended soy meat into a bowl and mix in the chopped onions, green chilies, and curry leaves. Along with this, add chili powder, salt, black pepper, an egg, and chickpea flour. Combine everything thoroughly to create a well-mixed dough-like consistency.
Next, shape the mixture into small balls.
Next, take a pan and add some coconut oil to it. Place the pan on the stove and heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the balls into the pan and fry them until they turn a golden brown.
So, the soy meat vada is now ready. Whether it’s for a family gathering, a celebration, or just an evening tea snack, this will surely be a hit. It’s incredibly easy to prepare with simple ingredients you already have at home. I added chickpea flour to the mixture to ensure the balls hold together well and don't break apart while frying. I encourage you to try this out too. I'll meet you again with a new recipe soon!
Thank you reading
Have A nice day.
