Vegetable paya recipe
Appam paya – Many of you would have heard this combo or tasted in restaurants. Paya – Popularly known as “Attukal Paya” is one of the most popular side dish for appam & idiyappam in Tamil nadu. It is basically a South Asian food that is served in festivals and occasions. Paaya means “Feet” in Urdu and Hindi. This dish is prepared by cooking goat legs (Trotters in English) in a spicy masala curry. This dish is adapted in local cuisines and this paya recipe vary regionally. The cooked leg pieces is served as soup for patients as it is considered to be healthy. I have heard about this dish from my Chennai friends. I thought it would taste more like Parota Salna

Recently my friend Shalini told she tasted appam with vegetable paya in Saravana bhavan Grand style hotel in Salem. It tempted me to try this recipe at home. I browsed few mutton paya recipes and got this particular version from Mullai’s blog. I tweaked the recipe slightly as per my convenience and used potato instead of mutton. I made it for our Sunday breakfast as a side dish for South Indian appam recipe. It came out finger licking delicious. 

Sendhil and myself loved it a lot. I am sure, I will make this vegetable paya recipe often in my kitchen. Friends, do try this side dish for appam and idiyappam for a change. You will love it like us. You can prepare this gravy with mixed vegetables too. Ok, Lets see how to prepare paya recipe with potato ( Vegetarian version) with step by step photo !

HOW TO MAKE VEGETABLE PAYA - METHOD

  • Wash and peel the skin of potato. Cut into strips of 2 inches and set aside. I chopped it lengthwise to resemble goat legs ; )) Chop onion, tomato and keep apart.
  • In a kadai, heat oil and saute one chopped big onion, dhania seeds and green chillies. Switch off the flame and let it cool. Grind it along with coconut + Fried gram dal as I did. OR As per the original recipe,  you should grind Dhania+green chilli+ onion to a smooth paste (Paste 1). Grind coconut + fried gram dal to a smooth paste separately ( Paste 2). But I ground everything together.

  • In a cooker base, heat oil and saute cinnamon, cloves, bayleaf, black stone flower, cardamom and fennel seeds. Add the chopped onions, g&g paste ( If you grind dhania+ chillies+onion paste separately, add it at this stage. Saute until its raw smell goes off.) Now add tomato, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and saute until mushy. To this, add the sliced potato strips. Mix well for sometime. (Add coconut paste.i.e paste 2 if you have ground it seperately)

  • Now add the ground coconut paste and saute for a minute. Add 1.5 cups of water and garam masala powder. Mix well and pressure cook for one whistle in low flame or till the potato cooks soft but retain its shape.

Uppu Seedai & Vella Seedai Recipe With Store Bought Rice Flour

Uppu seedai - Vella seedai
Uppu Seedai/Salt seedai and Vella seedai/Sweet seedai recipes using store bought rice flour with tips and tricks to avoid bursting. Seedai is one of the most important Neivedyam recipes for Krishna Jayanthi @ Gokulashtami festival in Tamil nadu. Usually we make seedai recipes with homemade processed rice flour and roasted urad dal flour. I have already shared our traditional uppu Cheedai and vella cheedai recipes long back. This year, I tried cheedai using store bought rice flour as it is easy and quick to make. I used Anil Kozhukattai flour.

I guess Idiyappam flour works well too. I won't say this seedai will melt-in-mouth like Adayar Ananda bhavan seedai, but it came out equally crispy and crunchy when compared with the traditional ones. Above all, It din’t burst. Cracks in the sweet seedai is unavoidable though. If you are a beginner, use the same quantity I mentioned here. Once you got them right, you can go for doubling the quantity. Friends, If you don’t have enough time to make processed rice flour but still want to make seedai, try this easy version with store bought rice flour. Follow the steps carefully if you are a beginner. You can make it really well.

Have a great Krishna Jayanthi celebration. Check out my other Gokulashtami recipes in THIS LINK. Lets see how to make uppu seedai and vella seedai with rice flour ( Kozhukattai flour) and tips to make it without bursting.

Please watch the video below for all the Gokulashtami recipes.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 250ml

For Vella Seedai
  • Idiyappam flour OR Kozhukattai flour - 1/2 cup
  • Roasted urad dal flour or Powdered gram flour – 1/2 tbsp
  • Softened butter – 1/2 tbsp / 1.5 tsp (at room temperature)
  • Sesame seeds or cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Finely grated coconut – 1 tsp (optional)
  • Grated jaggery - 1/4 cup + Water – 2 tbsp ( to melt jaggery)

For Uppu seedai
  • Idiyappam flour OR Kozhukattai flour - 1/2 cup
  • Roasted urad dal flour or Powdered gram flour – 1 tbsp
  • Softened butter – 2 tsp ( at room temperature)
  • Finely grated coconut – 1 tsp (optional)
  • Sesame seeds or cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Asafetida/Hing - 1/8 tsp
  • Salt & Water - as needed
Cooking oil – to deep fry
HOW TO MAKE SEEDAI USING RICE FLOUR - METHOD

  • Dry roast 1 cup ( 250ml cup) of rice flour till it starts to emit vapour. Keep roasting in medium flame for few minutes to see the vapour. Try to draw a line to check if the flour is roasted well. Do not burn the flour.  Let the flour cool down. Follow the same steps for Idiyappam flour as well. If you have dry rice flour, you don't have to roast it.
Vella seedai

For Vella Seedai / Sweet seedai
  • Measure 1/2 cup of roasted rice flour in a sieve. To this, add either roasted urad dal flour OR roasted gram flour (Pottukadalai maavu). Sieve them very well in a bowl. This step helps to avoid bursting. So do not skip this step. Add sesame seeds or cumin seeds, salt, hing, ground coconut (optional) and softened butter ( unmelted butter). Mix well with your fingers. Make sure butter is well spread with the flour. Set aside.
Vella seedai
  • In a kadai, take the grated jaggery. Add 2 tbsp of water and melt the jaggery by boiling it. Strain the syrup through a metal strainer. Mix this syrup, cardamom powder with the sieved rice flour mixture. Mix well. Add little water and make a non-sticky smooth dough.
Vella seedai
Vella seedai
  • Make small balls out of it and spread them in a newspaper. Make one or two small cylindrical shaped Seepankuzhal too ( Refer main picture). Let it air dry for 20 minutes. ( If you are a beginner, go for frying seedai in a mini kadai ( tadka pan) with little oil to check whether seedai burst or disperses in oil. Put just 2 balls and stay a feet away. 
  • Check if the seedai burst or disperses in oil. If seedai disperses in oil, either oil temperature may be too low or jaggery syrup or butter may be more. In that case, add little more rice flour and make a non-sticky dough. Make balls and again fry them in little oil. If it works fine, go ahead with batch frying. 
Vella seedai

  • Heat oil in a kadai and when it gets heated, put a pinch of seedai dough and check the oil temperature. If it comes up immediately, oil temperature is correct. Now simmer the flame to medium and drop seedai balls. Stay 2 feets away for safer side. Do not disturb for a minute. Then toss the balls and put the balls and deep fry for few minutes. Keep turning both the sides for even cooking.
  • Remove after it turns golden brown. Do not wait for all the bubbles to stop. Drain them in a tissue. Cracks are unavoidable in sweet seedai. Store after it cools down. It may turn soft the next day. So to enjoy crunchy seedai, consume it on the same day !

Vella seedai

For Uppu Seedai Recipe / Salt seedai
  • In a wide bowl, take 1/2 cup of roasted rice flour, roasted urad dal powder or fried gram flour ( pottukadalai maavu). Sieve twice to avoid bursting. Add cumin seeds, asafetida, salt and mix well. Add in soft butter and mix well with your finger tips. Make sure butter is well spread with the flour. 
Uppu seedai
Uppu seedai

  • Add water little by little and make a dough. Make small balls using three fingers. Do not give pressure while rolling. Let the balls dry in a newspaper for 15-20 minutes.
Uppu seedai
  • Heat oil & check the oil temperature by dropping a pinch of dough. When it rises to the top, simmer the flame to medium & put a handful of seedai balls. Stay 2 feet away. Do not disturb the balls for few seconds. 
  • Then toss the seedai & cook till bubbles cease to 90%. Remove when the seedai turns golden. Let it cool down completely & then store in an air tight box. Enjoy for a week!
Uppu seedai
Uppu seedai


Note
  • First important thing to avoid bursting is to “SIEVE” the flour once or twice. U should sieve all the flour ( urad dal flour, rice flour). Sieving the flour properly reduces 90% of bursting.
  • Second thing, you should not roll the seedai very tightly. U should roll it to a loose ball using three fingers. No problem if its not a proper round.
  • One more tip is to prick the seedai with a small needle to avoid bursting. Dry the seedai in a paper or towel for 20 mins before frying.This is also very important.
  • Dry roast the flour till it starts to release vapour. Try to draw a line using the roasted flour.
  • Beginners can try deep frying few seedai in “small tempering kadai” .If it comes out well , proceed in a big kadai. Color variations may be there slightly. But u can check whether it bursts or disperses in oil.
  • If sweet seedai breaks or dissolves in oil , it means jaggery may be more or oil temperature is too high or too low.
  • If Seedai bubbles too much after u drop into oil ,it shows the fat ( ghee or butter or oil) content is more.So add more rice flour to the dough & make again.
  • The color of seedai depends on the color of urad dal flour. If u roast the dal to golden brown, seedai will also turn brown.
  • Uniform heating is also important. In my observation, I feel medium flame is enough to get a nice colored and crispy seedai.
  • Vella seedai turns soft the next day.So consume it on the same day to enjoy its best taste. 
  • Adding coconut to seedai dough may reduce its shelf life.
