METHI NA GOTA. &.. DAKORE NA GOTA      ( VENDHAIYUM VADA)

INTRODUCTION

INGREDIENTS

Methi Na Gota are prepared from Fenugreek leaves and Generally used in winter. Dakore Gota can be made all the year round.

250 Gms. Fenugreek leaves
150 Gms. Of Besan (Kadalai Maavu)
100 Gms. of Coarse wheat flour
three spoons of chiilli and ginger paste
Coarsely powdered Dhania and Black pepper, quarter cup. This should be very coarse.
One spoon of Fruit salt
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste.
One spoon of Asafoetida
Three spoonfuls of Sour curds
Oil for frying

METHOD OF PREPARATION

Mix the flours and all the ingredients in a pan and add three spoons of oil. mix the ingredients in flour very well. Taste the mixture for salt and hotness. If you need to add chillies or salt, Add now. Add small quantity of water and start making the dough go on adding little quantities of water till you get a soft consistency of workable dough. Make small round balls of the dough and deep fry in a kadai on a medium flame. If you like Vendhaiyum,  you can add Fenugreek leaves to the above dough and make vendhaiyum Gota. These are very delicious . Other variation is using only kadalai Maavu. You may avoid using wheat flour and use only Kadalai Maavu.In such a case, use a little more of saapadu soda along with fruit salt as Kadalai maavu alone tends to harden and does not give soft Gotas. IN MY OPINION, METHI NA GOTA TASTES EQUALLY GOOD.!!!
