Vadai (Vada) Curry

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.
