Onion fritters (piyavu vodi or neerulli sandige)

Hi friends today I am sharing one of my favorite recipe which is usually done during summer because it requires maximum 4-5 days of sunlight , this recipe requires a lot of patience and this recipe is done during night so that batter is applied on sheets next day morning , all the ingredients are easily available at our home , it is served with rice and dal , once it is fried you can store them in air tight container , i am sharing this recipe the quantity would be for 10 serve for a day ,beginners don’t panic its easy and be in patience while cooking so lets begin

Ingredients used :

*Rice – 2 cups(rice can be used dosa rice or normal eating rice also )

* Chilly powder – 8 spoons (I have used byadagi chilly powder )

* Salt as required

* Water 10cups –(measurement : 1 cup rice = 5 cup water )

* Sabudana (optional few use them I did not use )

*Onion -1

*Oil for frying

 

Method of preparing :

*Wash rice for 3-4 times and soak it for 4 hours .

*After 4 hours drain water ,  add little by little rice , chilly powder, salt and grind them it should not be thick , its consistency should be like neer dosa batter.

* Take thick vessel or you  can use steamer vessel or this type of vessel , add batter and keep it on the gas flame .

*Flame should be medium and you need to mix the batter continuously lumps should not be formed .

* I know for beginners its difficult if you find any lumps don’t panic try to break them and keep on stirring until and unless the batter gets big bubbles .

* Don’t increase the flame for bubbles see to it that batter doesnot stick the base of vessel.

*Once the bubbles come it means its cooked good , switch off the flame and keep the vessel aside .

*Never ever taste batter after its cooked because you may hurt your tongue due to excess of heat it may burn your tongue also.

*Next day morning dice the onion in to small pieces and now its time to check the taste of batter u can add salt and chilly powder according to your taste .

*Mix the onion in that batter , if you find batter is thick you can add little water to it .

* Note : morning no need to heat the batter again

*Once done take sheet (you can use plastic rice bag or large plastic bag) and drop them little by little on the sheet

*Apply stones at the side of sheets if its plastic due to air it may fly away and if you are keeping outside in your balcony please cover with cloth during night due to dews Vodis may spoil .

Here is the vodis dropping method :

Once the vodis are dried you can fry them in oil  and enjoy them with dal rice , kids specially love to eat them along with rice , please store them in air tight container otherwise vodis turn soft , do try this recipe and let me know any queries do comment
