GRAIN FRITTERS CURRY

Monsoon has set in almost all parts of the country.  Everywhere waterlogging, making life miserable for commuters as usual in Mumbai by road or train.  When all the members are at home, we feel like eating some hot bhajias, fritters with a cup of tea/coffee.  awesome isn't it?  The grain fritters link is here

When you have left over Vada either dal wada or medu vada, we can make curry out of this.  You can also make nice rasam or sambhar and put the vadas in it.  It is really yummy to have it with rice.

I had some left over grain fritters with me and made the subzi out of it.
