Add Tomatoes and saute until its cooked well. Then add chilly powder, turmeric, coriander powder and salt.

                               

Mix everything together. Until oil oozes out. Separate vada's into two portions.

                               

Add 1/2 cup water to the curry mix and wait until the curry boils. Then add half of the vada's in it. Let it cook for a while, until the water evaporates. Finally add rest of the vada's to it.

                               

The curry must have the combination of both soft vada's and crunch vada's. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Vada curry is now ready to serve. Goes well with Idly, Dosa and Idiyappam.
