Keerai Vada

"Classified on the website where I found this - http://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/FreeSection/result.asp?passid=4522 - as a South Indian snack. I’ve not made this recipe as I’ve only just found it and I’m posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. The number of serves, preparation time and cooking time are all my guesstimates. None of this information was provided on the website. I have not included the soaking time in step one in my guesstimates. It would be great if you could include your preparation and cooking times and perhaps the number of Keerai Vada you made from the ingredient quantities listed here. My guess is that Keerai Vada could be served as an appetiser, a side dish or a snack."

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
