Vermicelli Vada Recipe | Crispy Semiya Garelu | How To Make Vermicelli Vade with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Vada or deep-fried snacks are perhaps one of the most important recipes in our Indian Cuisine. Typically it is made for either morning breakfast as a savoury meal or for a simple evening munching snack with a cup of tea. One such simple and easy tea-time snack meal is vermicelli vada known for its crunchy and savory taste.
As I was explaining earlier, this recipe is an extension of the popular rava vada recipe. Basically, in rava vada the outer texture may be termed as mild to crunchy, but with the vermicelli, it makes it super crunchy. Basically, when these vermicelli noodles are fried, it makes them super crisp and crunchy. Initially, I thought of preparing just with semiya noodles, but I gave it for one big reason. If I had prepared it with just semiya noodles, it would have turned brittle and hard. In addition to being crisp, the addition of rava makes it a slightly soft and pleasant experience. In this post, I have shown 2 ways of preparing the vada. I have used deep fry and no fry methods. You may select either one of them to make these as your taste preference and choice.
Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the vermicelli vada recipe. Firstly, in this recipe, I have not added any vegetables and just restricted them to vermicelli and rava. Perhaps adding vegetables like onion, carrot, potatoes, beans, peas and even cabbage grate to make it tastier. Secondly, I have shaped like a disc and like balls in these 2 ways. There isn’t any specific rule with the shape and you may shape it as per your choice and preference. Lastly, these crispy vadas would stay crisp and hard for quite some time, and hence you may prepare it early and serve it to guests as they arrive. However, you may still need to microwave or reheat it before it is served.
