CHEMEEN VADA

Unlike the other vadas where in we use big onions,here we are using shallots ie. small onions one of the main ingredient apart from the prawns which enhances the taste of the vada

If it is small prawns u can directly use it without chopping it to pieces.Here i had tiger prawns so i chopped them,so that i can get  prawns on my each bite.


Ingredients

1.Chemeen/prawns                             250gms
2.Shallots/small onions                       1cup
 
 
3.Ginger                                              1teaspn
4.Curry leaves                                     1/2cup
5.Green chillies                                    3-4nos
6.Coriander leaves                             1/4cup(optional)
7Salt                                                   3/4teaspn
8.Turmeric powder                             a pinch
9.Besan/Chickpea flour                      1/2cup
10.Rice flour                                         1tbspn
 
                        Cut the prawns into very small pieces and place into a bowl.Now finely chop up the shallots,ginger,green chillies,corriander leaves and curry leaves and dump them into the bowl and add in salt and turmeric powder and mix.Finally add in the besan and flour and mix well with water little by little as required,your hands would be the best mixer i guess as it gives an additional love for your dish:)
            
                    Mash and squeeze up all the ingredients together with your hands to a not that thick consistency.You may add in more besan if necessary.Keep this aside for about 15mins.
Make small balls and flatten them over a thick plastic cover(milk cover if available) and deep fry them in hot oil twisting them on all sides and cooking on a low flame.

                  When its done you may serve them with any chutney or sauces of your wish.
