Rava Fried Vegetable

Whenever I think of cripsy pakoras, be it deep fried or tava fried, South Indian Rava fry comes to my mind. Rava fry goes best with vegetables or sea food. Any body would get instant liking towards this dish and it would disappear from the plate in a jiffy. Its delicious and a lot easy to prepare too. Comes in handy when you need to prepare a quick side dish.

In this post I would share the recipe for Drumstick Rava Fry. It tastes good with rice and dhal. You can substitute drumstick for any vegetable of your choice like Indian Gourd, Cauliflower, Okra(Bhindi) and Brinjal to name a few.

Ingredients: 

15 - 20 pieces of desired vegetable

2 tsp of Chilli pwd ( more or less depending on taste)

a pinch of Asafoetida pwd

2 tbsp of Semolina Flour (Rava or Sooji)

2 tbsp of Rice Flour

salt to taste

Oil for deep or tava (shallow) fry

Procedure: 

* Mix the vegetable with chilli pwd and asafoetida and keep it aside  for 30 mins.

* Just before you are ready to fry rub the vegetable with salt.

* Mix rice and semolina flour together and roll each piece of the vegetable in it so that the flour covers it from all the sides.

For Deep Fry :

* Heat enough oil for deep fry in a deep pan.

* Deep fry the vegetables until they are crispy and golden brown.

For Tava(Shallow) fry:

* Apply little oil to the pan and place the vegetables on it. 

* Shallow fry by turning the vegetable so that it gets cooked on both sides. ( you can keep adding a few drops of oil if needed)

Serve hot as an appetizer or with rice and dhal.
