AMRITSARI VADI-ALOO KI SABZI

I am a routine visitor to Golden Temple Amritsar, a pilgrimage of Punjab India. Whenever I visit there, I would definitely pick the famous Amritsari Vadi. Countless shops use to sell the Punjabi Papad and Vadian. Making of papad-vadian is a profitable cottage industry in Amritsar The Urad Dal Vadis and Papad of Amritsar are famous after the name of this city and widely sold within the country and exported across the globe.

Amritsari Vadi (plural: vadiyan) is made from the fermented dough prepared from a paste of ground urad dal, with salt, black pepper, heeng, red chilli, coriander seeds, salt, cumin seeds etc. added to it. The paste is shaped by hand into half-round 5 cm balls and spread out on sheets for sun-drying.

EASY TO MAKE SABZI!

To make aloo vadi sabzi, these vadis are roasted first with onions and then tomatoes and spices are added along with aloo and matar. Gravy is prepared by adding sufficient water. I have made this sabzi in a pressure cooker, but one can make this in a kadhai or saucepan. Cooking in a pressure cooker results in lesser time and more convenience
