Vazhapoo Vadai - Recipe Marathon - Day 21

Ive never heard of Vazhapoo Vadai until I saw the movie Kandukondein Kandukondein. This vadai plays a major role in finding lost ones in that film. It was then my mom and myself started to think how would it be made and the result, here comes crispy and healthy Vazhapoo Vadai for you.
Ingredients:
Vazhapoo - 1 cleaned and boiled
Bengral gram dal - 1 cup
Onions - finely chopped 1 cup
Salt to taste
Oil for Deep frying
Method:
Clean the Vazhapoo and boil them. How do you clean it ? Take each floret and remove the hardest part of it. along with a filament like petal. These two will not cook well, and again my mom says its not good for health. May be I should ask her why its not? So now after you clean it cook it in the pressure cooker for two whistles. The cooked Vazhapoo florets would be like the one below.
Soak the bengal gram dal for about an hours time and drain the water. In a blender add the cooked florets and bengal gram dal and make a smooth paste.To this mixture add the chopped onions and salt.

Make them into small patties , while the oil is getting heated in a thick bottomed vessel.
Drop the patties one by one and deep fry them. Remove them on a absorbent paper( I dont do this)

Serve hot with chutney or it can just be gobbled like that. What do you say.

Lets peep into my fellow runner's kitchen.
