Ingredients

  • 1/2 kg Keema (minced meat)
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 11/2 tsp Salt
  • 15 Cashew nuts
  • 3 cloves
  • 4 small pieces Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Masala (coconut and coriander paste)
  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. First wash the keema and take it in the cooker and let all the water evaporate then add salt turmeric and 1/4 glass water and cook for 15 minutes after the whistle on low flame.

  2. Grind the masala and keep aside (2 tbsp desiccated coconut and 2 tbsp fried corriander seeds ). My mother usually makes this masala and keeps it in the freezer.

  3. Once the keema is cooked let cool and take it in a grinder, add cashew nuts, cloves, and cinnamon and grind it to smooth paste.

  4. Now take a pan put 2 tsp oil and add the coconut masala  and chili powder and fry till brown then add the keema to this and mix well with ladle and fry till all the water leaves and the oil starts to surface. It should not get too dry then the vadas will be hard.

  5. Next take a bowl beat the eggs thoroughly and make balls from the keema, flatten them like vadas  and dip them in the egg and deep fry them in oil.

  6. Deep frying is always done in a Kadai with deep bottom and half of it should be filled with oil. Once the oil is heated the vadas should be put in the oil carefully and when the top side gets fried you can turn them to the other side and remove as they get golden brown. always use a deep fry strainer to remove the food from the oil.
