Maddur Vada is one of my favourite snack. It is crispy and soft inside with awesome onion flavors. This snack was first originated in a town called Maddur which is on the way from Bangalore to Mysore and thus the name Maddur Vada. As kids, we used to wait to go from Mysore to Bangalore on train only for the sake of this Maddur Vada. It is very simple to prepare with basic ingredients available at home and also very tasty. NOTE :  Can add 1/2 Cup Fine Semolina / Chiroti Rava / Suji if needed. Can add 2 tbsp Jeera if needed. A pinch of hing is optional.

Cutlets are very easy to prepare at home. Can have it in the evening as snack along with a hot cup of tea or a coffee. You can also add any vegetables you like to add extra nutrition and to make it more healthy ;). I love cutlets especially when they are hot so do try it this way.

I love fried items rather than machurian. I still remember when my brother used to get gobi manchurian for him, he used to ask me what i would like to have. I always used to say gobi fry with onion pieces in it. I used to enjoy and savour the taste of each bite. Now, I am able to make it on my own and it only takes 10 minutes. Nothing can be so easy and as tasty as this. Try it and enjoy.   NOTE : One can also try this with baby potatoes, mushroom, Cauliflower and any other vegetables of your wish instead of babycorn.
