Water

Heat a tawa or pan and keep the flame to a low or medium. Add cup peanuts.

step 1

Stir at intervals and roast till the peanuts become crunchy. The peanuts skin will also have some brown-black spots on them. Remove them in a plate and let them cool.

step 2

Rub the peanuts in your palms. This will remove the flaky skin. Now add the peanuts in a small grinder jar.

step 3

Grind to a coarse powder. Remove and keep aside.

step 4

In the same small grinder, add 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic and 2 green chilies (or 2 teaspoons green chilies).

step 5

Add 1 to 2 tablespoon water and grind to a smooth paste. Keep aside. Alternatively you can even crush the garlic, ginger and green chilies in a mortar-pestle.

step 6

Rinse coriander leaves very well. Drain the extra water and finely chop them. You will need 2 cups of finely chopped coriander leaves.

step 7

Take the coriander leaves in a mixing bowl.

step 8

Add the ginger+garlic+green chilli paste.

step 9

Now add teaspoon turmeric powder, teaspoon red chili powder, teaspoon coriander powder, teaspoon cumin powder and 1 pinch of hing (optional).

step 10

Next add the coarsely ground peanut powder and 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds.

step 11

step 12

Now add teaspoon sugar (optional) and salt as required.

step 13

step 14

Now add cup water in parts and begin to mix the batter.

step 15

Mix well to a thick batter. Add water as required and in parts.

step 16

step 17

step 18

Bring to boil 1 to 1. 5 cups water in another pan.

step 19

Lower the flame and holding the pan (in which batter is there) with tongs keep it inside the pan with water.

step 20

Cover with a lid and steam on a low to medium flame.

step 21

Once done, check with a tooth pick and it should come out clean. When the kothimbir mixture is cooled, then gently remove the entire layer on a plate. With a butter knife loosen the edges and invert the pan on a plate. Tap the pan and unmold the layer.

step 22

Now cut in square or diamond shaped slices.

step 23

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a tawa or pan. Place the steamed kothimbir vadi and pan fry on medium flame.

step 24

When the base is golden, flip and fry the other side.

step 25

Flip a couple of times more and fry till the sides are crisp and golden. You can even deep fry them if you want.

step 26

Place the pan fried kothimbir vadi on kitchen paper towels for extra oil to be absorbed. Fry the remaining kothmir vadi in the same way.

step 27

Serve hot or warm with any chutney or sauce of your choice.
