Tips:

• Do not use too much water for grinding the dal, just sprinkle little water for fluffy texture.
• If Medu Vada Batter is too thick: The Vada will shape nicely but they will be hard inside after frying.
• If batter is too soft: it will not be able to hold the shape and will absorb too much oil, that time you can add maida or Suji to make slightly thick batter.
• It’s the consistency of the batter that determines how soft and shapely the Vada turn out.

    Hi, this looks lovely. Instead of deep frying is it possible to make this in an air fryer like the Insta Pot? Thanks!

[AD] Grilling season is here and today I’m shari [AD] Grilling season is here and today I’m sharing my fav Indian style grilled veggie skewers made with @trulygrassfed Ghee. I love using their dairy product, especially Ghee with clean buttery flavor. It is ideal for cooking, baking and perfect for sauteing because of its high smoke point, which is well above typical cooking temperatures that has most of vegetable oils. 
When spring finally squishes wetly away and summer’s heat arrive in full force, we want to celebrate by spending as much time outside possible, why not cook and eat outdoor? Luckily, we have a practically endless number of recipe ideas. So made these veggie skewers and used Truly Grass Fed Ghee instead of oil or butter and let me tell you it taste so good, far better than grilled with regular cooking oil or butter. 
The Truly Grass Fed products are non-GMO, growth hormone rBST-free* and antibiotic free, perfect for vegetarian diet and naturally lactose free. Their products include natural sharp cheddar cheese, natural aged cheddar cheese, naturally creamy butter salted, and naturally creamy butter unsalted are so good. #PairsWithYou #ChooseTruly

Ingredients
2-3 tbsp Truly Grass Fed Ghee/Clarified Butter
1 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp cumin Powder
2 tsp Tandoori Masala
Salt
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1cup dice onion
1 cup diced bell pepper
1 cup whole Portobello Mushrooms
1 cup round sliced carrots
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
For coating
½ cup hot sauce or Indian style spicy ketchup
1 tbsp Truly Grass Fed Ghee/Clarified Butter
½ tsp tandoori masala
Method
Add ghee in a large bowl, melt it, then add all the spices and mix it well.
Add all the veggies, mix and coat it well and keep aside for 30 mins.
Preheat an oven on highest temp. 
Now insert the veggies in skewers.
Place the prepared skewers on a baking sheet and grill it into the oven about 10-15 mins. You can grill it on a griller. 
Add the coating ingredients in a bowl, heat it little bit, mix it and apply with brush on grilled veggie skewers. 
Serve the veggie skewers with mint chutney and enjoy.
Pickle Masala Powder also called as a Shambharyo o Pickle Masala Powder also called as a Shambharyo or Methia masala. This Masala is very popular in Gujarati cuisine, mostly use in different kinds of Gujarati pickles, or use as a sides like chutney.
Once you make Pickle Masala Powder, you can store it up to a year in your pantry or shelve cabinet, no need to refrigerate. You can make any pickle instantly, no need any extra ingredients; just add this masala in warm oil and add your favorite pickle’s main ingredients like mango, lemon, carrot, and mix well, your favorite pickle is ready. You can also use this pickle masala powder in any Achari Sabji like Achari Gobi, Achari Bhindi, etc…
