Crispy Veggie Sago Vadai

What a long n hot weekend it was, just didnt have time to sit in front of the laptop. Last week on Thursday had some leftover cooked rice from what i made for lunch. Since the next day was Friday the rice wouldnt be of use, was just thinking what do with a cup of rice. Then an Idea came up, Just mixed sago, curd, rice flour, cornflour, carrot n made a thick vadai  for sample like we do for Medhu vadai, It tasted good but I felt something was missing Just added kasuri methi to the batter n then made a thin vadai. To my surprise the addition of kasuri methi just changed the entire taste of the vadai, It was dddelicious. my hubby loved them soo much.  You can make them immediately too, but if you allow them the sagos to soak for atleast 20-30 minutes it will be much more delicious.
Next time you have left over rice do try this vadai you will surely love this perfect tea time snack.

Add enough rice flour from about 3/4 - 1 cup, just enough to bind every thing together. The batter will resemble medhu vadai batter. Allow them to soak for atleast 20 - 30 minutes. You can fry them immediately but the sago wouldnt have soaked enough.
