Vada (Big) is the most relishing recipe from South India especially when soaked in the Sambhar (South Indian curry) and eaten along. Though I have eaten it several time but never tried to make it myself. Today during my conversation with a friend; he was telling a truly inspirational story that felt me feel good. To prepare Vada you need to take black gram (urad) and green gram (moong). Wash and soak it in water for whole night – If you want to be successful you must keep your image clean irrespective of whatever color, cast or creed you belong to and you need to go through the process of softening yourself so that your appear soft and tender.
Grind soaked grams coarsely in a blender – Once you are sure that you have softened yourself; be ready for grinding and blending by various people who would doubt, test, confuse, demotivate, deviate and try everything possible to destroy your existence. In spite of knowing that you being grind go through the process and the outcome will be that you will become part of the social structure which is soft and blended with the rules and systems of the society.
Add onions,ginger, green chilies salt and baking powder and mix well and set aside for 5 minutes – In the process of becoming successful you will create baggage of people who will come from different agendas, greed, priorities and values. You will need to be strong enough to accommodate and make them blend with you. Since, they will be mixing with you; you will accumulate some taste and qualities from all of them to become more useful, tasteful and appropriate person.
Shape the batter round and make the hole in the center – This is very important part of making Vada look presentable. You will be rounded, go full circle, maddening and finally your own people will make hole in your heart. You will have to prepare to be hurt by your own people and make your survival in spite of broken hearts, melted emotions and griefs.
Finally, heat oil in a pan or kadhai and deep fry a spoonful of batter till golden – You will feel burn, tired, lost, and for a moment you will ask yourself why did you do all these. And what have you become by doing this.
