If you go to
Pune and ask anyone where "
Surali Vadi" originated from. Most people will answer
"Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale" - a famous
Pune shop.
Ingredients:-
Besan 1 cup
Maida 1 tsp
Buttermilk 3/4 cup
salt
Red
Chili Powder
TurmericAlso,
Mustard seeds, Asefoitida, Curry leaves,
Coriander leaves, fresh coconut(
shredded)
Preparation:-
Mix
besan,
maida in the buttermilk to make a smooth batter.
Aadd red
chili powder, salt,
turmeric.
Heat the mixture on medium flame. Keep stirring constantly for 4 to 5 min.
Lower the heat for 2 min. (take a test by putting a drop of mixture on a corner of plate. In a minute try to take it off from the plate, if its not sticking to the plate surface the mixture is ready.)
Take 6 dinner plates. DO NOT APPLY OIL ON THE PLATES.
Pour approx. 1/4 cup of mixture on each plate &
smoothen with a ladle in circular fashion, immediately like a thin
Dosa. Do one by one. Keep the rest of the mixture covered while you are spreading it on the plates. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
Now start the preparation for "tadka" by heating oil, add mustard seeds, asefoitida & curry leaves.
Take it off from heat.
Sprinkle it on the plated mixture.
Spread
coriander leaves & fresh coconut also.
Now cut approx. 4-5 strips on one plate with knife.
And roll each strip to form the
Surali vadi.
Even though the recipe seems lengthy, its a very quick snack.
