    Hi, I’m not sure if you’d have heard about saidapet vadacurry and I’m from that place. As a saidapet native Mari hotel servers the best vadacurry in that geography and your recipe almost replicates that taste. I have tried today and it’s a super success. Thank you for the recipe

      So happy to hear Gowri☺️?you made my day! Well, I have not tasted Mari hotel vadacurry….but this is how we make at home and I personally kind of like the fried version compared steamed? thanks dear Gowri for writing a feedback, really appreciate.

    I tried out this recipe yesterday. It came out good. I didn’t know vada absorb so much of water. There wasnt much gravy left. Will try again. Thanks a lot for ur recipe.

    Dear Mullai, New to the site. Excellent recipe. Brought back some child hood memories for my husband (who grew up in Chennai). In the recipe I added Perungayam(asfoetida) in the oil. Turned out really a great preparation! Thank you for sharing this recipe and keeping up the web site! Regards, Bina

    Hi Mullai. Just tried the recipe. Came out good. The vadas came out little hard though I steamed only for 7 mins, but softened a bit once I put them into the gravy. I added little tamarind juice to make it little chatpata. Thanks once again for posting the recipe Mullai

    Thanks for the recipe Mullai .The first time i tried, it came a little dry (not saucy) . Next time , I sauted the onions , tomatoes and ground them and added it (Rest of the procedure as you said ) .. Came out good.

      Hi Rose, you can add little water, in case if it sticks to the bottom. Juicy tomatoes should work, if not no harm in adding water.
