Hailing from the town of Maddur in Karnataka, this dish turns the famous crispy snack into a satisfying meal. The vadas are made with a mix of semolina and rice flour, packed with sliced onions and curry leaves. For the curry, these crunchy vadas are gently simmered in a spiced coconut and tomato-based gravy. The result is a beautiful combination of textures where the outside stays soft while the inside remains savory and firm. It is a perfect dish for a lazy Sunday brunch when you want something hearty and traditional. Serve it with steamed rice or even as a standalone dish with a side of chutney.

- Adding a tiny piece of jaggery to the gravy balances the tanginess of the tomatoes perfectly.
