Sweet Methu Vada உளுந்து கச்சாயம் | Inippu Ulunthu Vadai

SWEET METHU VADA உளுந்து கச்சாயம் | INIPPU ULUNTHU VADAI

Today I am here with a popular Kongunadu recipe, Sweet Methu Vada உளுந்து கச்சாயம் sweet urad dhal vada or inippu ulunthu kachayam. Here I have shown the stone grinding method, you can use electric wet grinder to do the same. I have uploaded a short video how to grind using ancient stone mortar and pestle (aatangal) and to make holes for vada, so take a look before trying this recipe. Amma took the grinding part and Selvi our neighbor helped in frying it. I just did clicking and recording this recipe (also tasting part :-). The basket/koodai in display picture is the one i am preserving it from my childhood. I used it to sow seeds when parents worked in farm and was equally worked/tried what they did. I am keeping the basket safe as a treasure from my childhood days 🙂

Ingredients For Sweet Methu Vada உளுந்து கச்சாயம்
Whole Urad Dhal – 1 Cup
Raw Rice – 1 Tbsp
Granulated Sugar ( not fine powder) – 3/4th Cup – 1 Cup
Oil – To Fry

How to make Sweet Methu Vada உளுந்து கச்சாயம்

  • Soak dhal and rice for 1 hour.
  • Drain the excess water and blend it (Pic 1).
  • When half mashed add sugar in 3 proportions (Pic 2) and continue grinding.
  • Don’t add water through the entire grinding process, if needed you can sprinkle some.
  • For right consistency, the dhal should blend well (no coarse texture), it should be soft and fluffy.
  • You can check by dropping a spoonful of batter in water, it should immediately float on top (Pic 3).
  • Heat oil and wet your hand before making hole and drop it carefully (check my video too).
  • Cook in medium heat otherwise the vadas burn quickly and turn dark brown becoz of sugar in it.
  • Drain excess oil using paper towel (Pic 4).
  • I strongly recommend tasting the vadas after 2-3 hours, however the hot Vada ppl can’t wait so.
  • We especially like to mash sweet vada with banana and eat.

Note:

  • While grinding you can wet your hands and if needed sprinkle some water
  • Don’t add too much water while grinding the dough and also add sugar in intervals.
  • Once it attained the right consistency, fry it as soon as possible and don’t refrigerate the batter, otherwise it absorbs lot of oil while frying.
  • You can make Sweet Methu Vada உளுந்து கச்சாயம் without holes too.
