Kurunai vadai recipe

Kurunai vadai recipe – Easy South Indian style vadai recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

Kurunai vadai as the name is new, I don’t know what it is called everywhere. During my childhood days, one of our very close neighbour aunty used to make this. Unlike ulundu vadai this vadai needs no exact shape.

Aunty makes this vadai on Diwali mornings and she sends this to our home around 5 am in the morning and that too in bulk always. Still, I can’t forget that taste. When the day I prepared this and had it, it gave me memories of my childhood days. Have you ever experienced that feeling?

Thank you so much Aunty for sharing this recipe and hope one day I will come to your house to experience those memories again.

Notes

  • Do not make the batter too thick as the vadas will become hard.
    • If it is too watery also it will drink more oil. Let the consistency be like urad dal vada consistency.
    • Small onions will give a great taste to this vada so do not omit it.
    • Also coconut bits give a fantastic taste too.
    • Kurunai vadai is a perfect rainy day tea time snack recipe.
