Minapa Vadiyalu Recipe is a South Indian traditional recipe that is made with low investment. When it comes to farmer’s lifestyle, they like to eat curd rice or starch rice as their lunch keeping Minapa Vadiyalu curry or simply onion or green chillies.
When I was a child, my mother and grandmother used to make many sun-dried varieties among which I like saggubiyyam vadiyalu and rice flour vadiyalu as sprinkle spice powder immediately once they are deep-fried.
Sun Dried Urad Dal Badi Recipe is not a deep-fried recipe instead we can make curry out of it by adding fewer ingredients when we run out of vegetables.
Tips to make perfect Minapa Vadiyalu Recipe:
- If you are grinding dal in a grinder, it becomes hard. Instead of adding water add a little salt to become a free-flow batter.
- Batters need not be soft, they can even be coarse but need to be hard.
- Vadiyalu needs to be moisture-free or else they get spoiled.
- Adding onions to this recipe gives a good taste when we make curry.
