Coconut Vadai / Nalar Bhairi

Ingredients:

Raw Rice (Pulunga Arisi) / Idli Rice – 1 cup
Coconut – ½ shell (finely grate it or grind it little coarse without adding water)
Salt – to taste
Cooking Oil


Cooking Instructions:


Wash and clean the rice and soak it in water for ½ an hour. Grind it by adding enough water until it is smooth. The batter should be very thick in consistency like the chapatti dough.

Add enough salt and grated coconut in the batter and mix it well. The dough looks like as in the image given below.



Heat oil in a deep pan for deep frying the vadas. Take a plastic sheet and apply a tbsp of oil on that sheet. Take a small ball of flour and place it on the sheet and flatten it with your hands. Now remove it from the cover and drop it in the oil carefully. Wait until the one side of vada cooks well and now turn it to the other side, and and wait until the other side is cooked well. Remove it from the oil and drain the excess oil with a paper towel. Nalar bhairi is ready to eat. It’s a good evening snack. Children will love it!

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings.
