The Kanji Vada Recipe is a traditional recipe from Rajasthan and a delicious dish that is made from lentils soaked in a mildly spicy fermented mustard curry. Traditionally the Kanji Vadas are deep fried, but I have pan fried them using my favorite Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan. I have also used moong sprouts that adds to the nutrition of the vadas. Serve the Rajasthani Kanji Vada Recipe as a tea time snack or as a side dish for parties.

Ingredients

Ingredients for Moong Dal Vada

    1 cup Yellow Moong Dal (Split), soaked for 2 hours
    1/2 cup Green Moong Sprouts
    1 inch Ginger, grated
    2 Green Chillies, chopped
    1 teaspoon Fennel seeds (Saunf)
    Oil, for cooking
    Curry leaves, few (optional)
    Salt, to taste

Ingredients for the Kanji (Mustard Curry)

    1/4 cup Mustard seeds (Rai/ Kadugu), split (rai na kuria)
    1 teaspoon Black Salt (Kala Namak)
    1 teaspoon Red Chilli powder
    1/4 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
    Salt, to taste

Instructions for Rajasthani Kanji Vada Recipe

    1

    To begin making the Rajasthani Kanji Vada Recipe, we will first make the Kanji. The kanji once made has to be fermented for at least 24 hours.

    2

    Combine all the ingredients for the Kanji in the small jar of the blender to make a smooth powder. Transfer the powder to a large bowl that has a lid. Add 1-1/2 liters of water to the powder and stir well to combine. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste. Cover the Kanji water with a lid and refrigerate for 24 hours.

    3

    Once you are ready to make the Kanji Vada's we will prepare to make the vada for this recipe.

    4

    Make sure you have soaked the dal for atleast two hours. Drain the water.

    5

    Add the soaked dal, the moon sprouts, ginger and green chiles into a food processor and grind to a smooth thick batter without adding any water.

    6

    Next step is to pan fry the Vada. Heat a Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan on medium heat. Add a few drops of oil into each cavity. Spoon a portion of the vada and add it into the cavity. Cook the vadas evenly on both sides until golden brown on both sides and it is cooked from the inside.

    7

    You can optionally cover the pan and cook the vadas. Proceed the same way with all the remaining vada batter.

    8

    Heat a large bowl with water and warm it slightly. Once warm, turn off the heat. Soak the pan fried vadas in the water for about 1/2 an hour. This will soften the vadas as soon as they are fried. Very similar to the dahi vada.

    9

    Drain off the excess water from the vada and place it in a large serving bowl. Pour the fermented Kanji water into the vadas and refrigerate for a couple of more hours until the vadas get soaked well in the spicy kanji water and serve.

    10

    Serve the Rajasthani Kanji Vada Recipe as a tea time snack or as a side dish for parties.
