Baked MADDUR VADE - crispy baked spicy crackers

Maddur Vade..till now it's been one of those snacks we miss and crave for and can't wait to grab some everytime we visit Bengaluru!


That unique authentic taste of crispy fried flours & spices is simply mind blowing! However, not being a fan of deep frying I never bothered to give this treat a try at home. Until now - BAKED!

Oh how delicious it turned out! Here it is, my healthier baked version of MADDUR VADE:




Ingredients (for about 14): 1/2 cup fine semolina, 1/2 cup corn flour, 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/3 cup whole wheat flour, chopped coriander, 1 onion & chillies chopped finely, curry leaves, cumin seeds, 2-3 tablespoons yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, red chilli powder, salt to taste.

Make: Dry roast semolina till golden in colour, then dry roast corn flour & rice flour together for 3-4 minutes all on low flame. In a pan, put in a little oil & saute chopped onions, chillies & curry leaves till well cooked. Add all roasted flours, wheat flour & onion mixture, coriander, salt, chilli powder and yoghurt together in a bowl and mix into a dough. Do not use any water, only use the olive oil & if needed extra yogurt. Make a soft dough and set aside for 5 minutes.

On a baking tray lined with baking paper, take small balls of the dough & flatten with fingers into flat disc shapes. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170deg for about 30 minutes. If wanting more crispness, flip them all over and bake for another 10 minutes. 

Cool and serve with chutney & hot cups of tea/coffee! These can be stored for upto a week in air tight container.
