Vada Curry Recipe / Set Dosa Vada Curry Recipe



Vada Curry and Set Dosa, a quite famous combo in food. And it is often had as a breakfast meal, not ordinary breakfast but a special breakfast. Frankly speaking i had never tasted this. But i have seen it. Till couple weeks back, i have never thought of making it at home and posting it here. There is a little inspiration behind this, every friday hubby and me visit a temple in a place near our town called suchidram. 


Couple weeks back, hubby took me to a veg hotel named maruti near that temple, it is not that big, but it is a family hotel. But i should tell you the food tasted so yummy. First time i ordered chole bature and it was mind blowing. Hubby ordered veg kothu parota, i tasted that too, it was yum. But their speciality is rasam vadai, i literally melted there when i tasted it, it was delicious... Then i saw a person near me ordering set dosa and vada curry. they brought it and it looked totally divine. At that moment i decided to try that combo and post it here. Couple days later i made it for breakfast along with set dosa. Hubby tasted it and told me no hotel food can stand near this and it is simply superb and he ate so many set of dosa..


This vada curry turned out really good. This can be paired with idlies or dosa. I will soon share the set dosa recipe, so keep looking for it.
