Anjaneyar Kovil Milagu Vadai/Hanuman Temple Vada Recipe

Anjaneyar kovil vadai
Anjaneyar kovil vadai/Hanuman temple vada is something very special than our usual urad dal vada with pepperHappy.Its crunchy taste and its awesome pepper flavor makes anyone fall for it.More than all,it’s a special prasad prepared in temple kitchen/madapalli and offered in the form of Vadai malai for Anjaneyar.Prasadam given in temples always tastes great and unique with its own flavor.To mention specifically,Chennai Nanganallur Anjaneyar temple vadai malai is most famous in Tamil nadu.Generally South Indian temples are famous for its puliodharai,sakkarai pongal and vadai.Most of us try to recreate Kovil puliodharai and kovil vadai at home.And if we get the taste close to temple version,we feel very happy and excited.I too got the same feel when I made this Anjaneyar temple vada successfully and that too in my very first attempt.I used to try temple puliogare very often in my kitchen but I couldn’t match the taste which was very disappointing for me.But when I prepared this vadai malai for Purattasi sani thaligai last week.I was completely satisfied with the output.Anyone even a beginner can make this crispy vada if you follow the steps carefully.So lets check out how to make this Hanuman temple style pepper vada with step by step photos.

  • It will flatten to a thin roundel.Make a hole in the center using your finger. Pat it in uniform thickness else vada may turn crispy in thinner side and soggy in thick portions.
  • Grease the sheet every time u pat the vada else vada may break while you remove.If vada breaks while you remove it, grind it little more n proceed.

  • Heat oil in a kadai to deep fry the vada.Put a drop of batter to check the oil temperature.If it rises immediately,oil temperature is just right.Now simmer the flame completely and carefully remove the vada from the sheet.Drop in oil and fry in medium flame till it turns golden brown and crispy.Flip the vada and cook the other side too.When the bubbles cease,remove the vada into a tissue and drain the excess oil. If the batter is properly ground without adding water,vada will not absorb oil.( Deep fry the vada patiently in medium flame because the color of vada turns black very soon and it remains uncooked when done in high flame)

  • I deep fried the vada one by one by keeping less oil.So its your choice of frying one by one or in a batch.Make 11 or 21 numbers and tie them in a thread.Make vada malai and offer to Lord Anjaneyar.Get his blessings !

Note

  • Soaking time of urad dal can be varied.I soaked for more than 2-3 hours but still my vada came out very crispy.You can achieve the same result even if you soak the dal for less than 30 minutes,
  • Crispness of vada completely depends on proper grinding of batter and frying the vada patiently in low to medium flame.
  • Never skip the rice flour & hot oil.It helps to make the vada crispy.
  • Add more pepper for spicy vada.
Offer this crunchy pepper vada to GOD and Enjoy !
