This is a new addition into the vegetarian list ,and of course a new create.I have posted a

keerai vada before ,but this is a combination of another lentil the kidney bean or rajma.

The dish is protein rich and good to serve with Iddli,Dosai,Pongal,(savoury ) or even pulaos.

This vada is first fried with the keerai in it,and dropped into the korma.You can use any type

of greens ,but this recipe was made with ponnaganni keerai.So let’s get into the recipe.
