[@ferhanamannah9512]

Thank you for sharing. I tried your recipe twice and both times it turned out devine. Everyone at home loved it. Please show us how to grind dhal ahead of time and freeze cos that was the time consuming aspect of making vedda. If I ground dhal ahead, it will save me time in the future wen my family wants a snack. Would i also be able to use frozen gram ground dhal for dhal roti using the same freezing method? But label them as to not confuse the dhal wen frozen.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hi I’ll show the method of freezing and re-making Vadde. Vadde is made with pea dhal. Dhal roti is made with gram dhal which is boiled and then ground. It’s not advisable to use Vadde dhal for dhal roti…

[@ferhanamannah9512]

Thank you. Please show how to freeze gram dhall for roti as well. Thank you. Maybe also show other tips you have with regards to meal planning ahead of time and freeze. What do you do with extra Dhania and stuff like that?

[@cynthiamatthews6057]

We want it with a little strong taste, and we got bird eye red chillies , also we want to know is sugar used to break down acid,

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

The sugar is more to make the veddah become more crispy and that golden brown colour.

[@VisNaidoo-jy2gt]

Hi.. Just a question.. Can I freeze the veda mix with the greens. Love your cooking style Txs

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes we can, but do not add the onions. If you find after defrosting that the mixture is wet add in some channa flour to dry the "wetness"

[@mumgafoor2752]

Hi, a very interesting channel. Will appreciate it if you can share how to make soft and fluffy puri which does not absorb oil. Thanks

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

You can try this recipe we made for puri. We add semolina to make the puri less oily but it is also important to have the oil hot enough to fry the puri out and make it less oily. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-QioCda5elh5I

[@ushamanilal8850]

what can i do if the vedas are breaking

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Could be that the dhal was not crushed enough and therefore is not binding. Add in a few table spoons of chana flour until it binds tighter.

What dholl do u use

Vadde uses pea dhal.

[@Zeuse36]

Namaste... When are you doing a recipe book... And can you do more soya recipes like soya mutton. Soya and cabbage, etc. God bless

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hi Collin. We will have to look into a recipe book. Here is a video for soya with cabbage. We shall try to do more soon! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5rEfYWue6urbZI

[@praneetadoorgha144]

Aunty what to do if vadde mixture is not binding properly

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

This could be because the dhal was not ground fine enough. If this was the case adding chana/gram flour would help. Also if the dhal is fine but the onions were added to early, the onions could release excess liquid and also cause the mixture to be runny. In this case also adding chana flour will help but work immediately with the mixture

[@sorojchetty5086]

Gaithree just a suggestion add some ginger garlic paste next time

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Thanks for the tip

[@solomonramsami]

Can this mixture be frozen

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes you can if you leave the onions out

[@cynthiamatthews6057]

Hi Mrs Devi I made the mixture, I never drained my dhall and my mixture was so wet and sticky so my sister used gram flour, do you think the dhall was too wet,

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes you have drain the dhal quite thoroughly. The gram flour if the mixture is too wet is a good hack. Adding the onions too far ahead of frying can also result in the mixture being too wet - onions must be added just before you are ready to fry...

[@veenasingh8290]

DO U ADD SOMPH?

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

No we added jeera. The full list of ingredients is in the video description

[@cynthiamatthews6057]

I want to do this right, I got dhall soaking and I I don't want gram powder, so I re-watched the video, I tried only half cup, so I know better tomorrow

[@lockness3723]

I love these Vadde's. A quick story on how I helped an Aunty in Debi Place Pmb in the mid-nineties. I can't remember the exact price she used to sell 3 vadde's for but let's say R2. She kept the vadde's she fried in a basket but I wanted the hot ones she had just fried. She refused, giving me a long lecture on who the hell is going to buy the " colder" vadde's, if she only sold HOT vadde's. I hit upon a brilliant idea to get HOT vadde's. I offered to buy 3 for R3. She thought about it for a second and agreed. So after about 4 Friday's of buying Vadde's at an elevated price, on the fifth Friday I was amused to see a sign next to her basket. It read " Cold Vadde's 3 for R2 " and next line " Hot Vadde's 3 for R3 ". 😁

Worth the premium though! Hot hot with a nice cup of tea!
