I love vada curry with appam. My mum does this with steamed vada. It is more healthier. It took a while to convince my kids to try vada curry with appam. They were used to cauliflower gravy as side dish to Appam. Once they tried this they were addicted to this. So now I have more options for Sidedish whenever I do Appam. This recipe is from my mum. The Appam in this pic is without yeast or soda.
Ingredients
Ani seeds – 1
Soak poppy seeds for 30 mins. Heat 2 teaspoon of oil. And coriander seeds, roasted gram dhal, green chillies, red chillies, garlic, ginger, fennel seeds and fry for 4-5 mins. Add roughly chopped onions and fry till Onion is transparent. Switch it off and let it cool down. Grind to fine paste together with poppy seeds and water.
Heat rest of oil. Add Cinnamon, ani seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom and fry till nice aroma comes. Add thinly sliced onion and fry till onion is transparent. Add tomato paste and grinded masala. Add enough water and add diced vada. Let it boil and garnish with coriander leaves
Serve hot
