- Kandha 1/2 kg (Yam in english)
- Basin (1/2 cup)
- Red chilli powder (1/2 tsp) or to taste
- Green chillis (5 - chopped finely)
- Onion (1 - chopped finely)
- Ginger - Garlic paste (1 tsp)
- Garam masala powder (1/2 tsp)
- Coriandar (2 tsps - finely chopped)
- Tumeric (1/4 tsp)
- Salt to taste
- Oil to try.
Method:
- Grate Kandha finely by a normal grater.
- Add 1/2 cup basin so that it can get the consistency to make balls in oval shape
- Add finely chopped green chillis, Coriander or Onion. Note: Adding more chopped onions will make the dough watery. So add little by little and make sure the consistency is good for making balls.
- Now add 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder, garam masala powder, tumeric, Ginger-Garlic paste & salt to taste.
- Mix them well and make into oval/circular shape balls like vadas.
- Take a kadai, a deep pan and fill it 1/2 with Refined oil.
- Deep fry the prepared oval shaped stuff.
You can have this by itself directly or mix with hot rice and ghee and enjoy the yummy yummy Kandha garelu.
Variations: You can have it plain without adding ginger-garlic paste or onions or garam masala.
Instead of Kandha, you can green plantain or slit Onions to make Arati garelu or Pakodis.
