Carrot vadai

Pattani Paruppu

The main ingredients of this carrot vadai is the lentil Pattani paruppu, known as yellow split peas. It is also known as Vatana. This lentil needs lot of soaking time. So, If you are planning to make the vadai around 5 pm, them soak it by 12 noon.

Paatani paruppu lends an amazing texture and crispness to the vadai. So, try substituting half measure of chana dal to pattani paruppu/vatana in your regular vadai recipes.

You can check this amazing thavalai vadai and chutney made with a combination of rice and dal, they make a lovely combo on a rainy evening.

How to make Carrot Vadai

As already mentioned, pattani paruppu requires a lot of soaking time, so soak the dal for 4 hours minimum. After the said soaking time, take it along with other ingredietns and grind it to a coarse batter. Do not add water while grinding. Please check the Recipe card below for the ingredients and measurements.

vada making

Transfer the ground batter to a bowl,heat oil. Once the oil is hot enough, pinch small balls of the carrot vadai batter, flatten it on your palms to form a thin disc, drop it carefully into hot oil.

frying carrot vadai

You can fry 3-4 vadai's at the same time, depending upon the size of the pan you are using to fry. Deep fry untilgolden brown on both sides. Drain it on a kitchen towel. Repeat the process with rest of the batter.

Since these carrot vadai's are made with no onion or garlic, they make an apt choice for festival offerings. We Indians, usually avoid onion and garlic in our cooking during festival days.

    Family holidays are fun. I haven't had a holiday with family for a very long time. Hopefully in Dec the plan works out. Love the Vada and adding carrot makes its nutritious and colourful.

    I have tasted vadas with pattani paruppu and have found them more delicious than the kadala paruppu vadas. Adding carrots to them surely enhances the flavour and what a great way of making kids eat it...
