Maddur Vadas:
Here are those famous Maddur Vadas, which are sold at Maddur Railway station wrapped in Banana leaves sometimes and in small restaurants served in Steel plates, in a small town called "Maddur" between Bangalore and Mysore in Karanataka,India.The recipe I have for these Maddur Vadas are the same, and if I had to pick a fellow blogger's recipe for this event,I would choose Latha of Masala Magic's recipe who is also from my home town Bangalore.I added a little baking soda and some minced ginger in addition to this recipe.Enjoy the wonderful Maddur Vadas with Coconut Chutney!
