After resting, shape the dough into a long, sausage-like roll.
-
Prepare a dhokla steamer by heating it and greasing the dhokla pan with a little oil. Place the sausage-shaped dough into the pan and steam for approximately 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
-
Once steamed, carefully remove the vadi from the steamer and allow it to cool. After cooling, cut the vadi into roundels and set aside.
-
In a kadai (wok), heat some oil and add the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida. Allow the seeds to crackle and release their flavors.
-
Gently add the cut vadi to the kadai and toss them lightly to coat with the tempered spices.
-
Serve the Maharashtrian Style Kothimbir Oats Vadi warm, ideally paired with Kala Vatana Amti (Maharashtrian Black Chickpea Curry) and Gujarati Methi Thepla (Spiced Indian Flat Bread with Fenugreek Leaves) for a wholesome meal.
Enjoy the ultimate blend of flavors and textures in this traditional dish that celebrates the essence of Maharashtrian cuisine!
