Instructions: To begin making Rava Vada Recipe, take a big mixing bowl, add the rava, curd, chopped onion, green chilies, curry leaves, coriander leaves and mix well.Using a mortar and pestle, pound the whole peppercorns roughly. To the mixing bowl with the rava, add the cumin seeds, roughly pounded peppercorns and salt to taste. Mix well and leave it to rest for 15 minutes.In a wok, heat some cooking oil. Wet your hands with water, take a small ball portion of the batter and flatten it a bit and make a hole in the centre of the batter with the finger of other hand so that you can shape it like a vada. Slowly drop it in the hot oil.You can alternatively, grease a banana leaf with two drops of oil and placea small ball portion of the batter and flatten it a bit and make a hole in the centre of the batter to shape it like a vada. Pick up the banana leaf and slide the uncooked vada in the oil. Fry for about a minute or two or until the edges turn golden. Slowly flip it over and fry until the Rava vadas are golden brown in colour.
