rasam vada recipe | rasam vadai recipe | rasa vadai recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. south indian cuisine is ultra-popular for its range of breakfast recipes it has to offer. these are generally clean and healthy meals with an abundance of carbs in it. but then there are other types and variants of breakfast cum snack with deep frying as its main source of cooking. one such popular and tasty snack combo recipe is rasam vadai recipe known for a strange combination of vada and spicy rasam.

urad dal based vada’s are always my personal favourite. i personally like to relish with the combination of idli or dosa with a huge dip of chutney with it. but the same vada can also be served with many other types. the most popular way is to either serve it with dipped sambar or with sweetened yoghurt. there is another way the same vada is served. it is with a generous amount of spicy and tangy rasam. this is particularly famous in south india and is served as an evening snack, if not for morning breakfast. the idea is to serve the leftover vada’s with leftover rasam from lunch. however, the combination has become a popular choice and is served as one of the morning breakfast meals. i personally feel it is too much of task to make rasam and vada specifically for morning breakfast. hence it is best to prepare the rasam overnight and prepare vada in the morning.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the perfect spicy rasam vada recipe. firstly, according to me, it is best if the vada’s are made in round shape and avoid making doughnut-shaped vada’s. this is because it is dipped in liquid and has more potential to absorb juice inside if made spherical in shape. secondly, i would heavily recommend dipping the vada’s when both vada and rasam are hot. there are more chances of absorbing the rasam by vada when it is hot. lastly, for serving it does not need any additional topping, but there is a lot of scope for experiment. you may add a generous amount of coconut chutney on top of rasam vada or even add finely chopped onions or choice of the mixture to spice it up.
