Ingredients

Dough
  • gram flour

    200 grams

  • wheat flour

    50 grams

  • salt

    a pinch

Filling
  • fresh cilantro

    100 grams

  • grated carrot

    50 grams

  • grated beetroot

    50 grams

  • chopped green chilies

    2-3


Instructions

  • 1
    Combine gram flour, wheat flour, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.

    To begin, mix together the gram flour, wheat flour, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. This mixture will form the base of our dough.

  • 2
    Add water gradually to make a smooth, pliable dough.

    Slowly add water to the flour mixture, kneading until you get a smooth, pliable dough. Be careful not to add too much water, as this can make the dough too sticky.

  • 3
    Chop the cilantro, grate the carrot and beetroot, and finely chop the green chilies for the filling.

    Prepare the filling ingredients by chopping the cilantro leaves, grating the carrot and beetroot, and finely chopping the green chilies. These will add flavor, texture, and color to your wadi.

  • 4
    Roll out small portions of the dough into thin circles.

    Divide the dough into small portions and roll each one out into a thin circle, about the size of a small puri. This will help the wadi cook evenly.

  • 5
    Place a spoonful of the cilantro mixture in the center of each dough circle.

    Put a small spoonful of the prepared cilantro mixture in the center of each dough circle. Make sure not to overfill, as this can make sealing the wadi difficult.

  • 6
    Fold and press the edges to seal the wadi.

    Fold the dough over the filling to form a square or triangle shape, and press the edges together to seal the wadi. Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from coming out during cooking.

  • 7
    Steam the wadis for 15-20 minutes.

    Place the sealed wadis in a steamer and steam them for 15-20 minutes. This method of cooking helps retain the nutrients and flavors of the ingredients.

  • 8
    Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.

    Once cooked, serve the Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi hot with a side of your favorite chutney or sauce. This snack is perfect for a quick, healthy meal or as a side dish for special occasions.

    I'll be honest, I was expecting a bit more meat in my life, but I suppose Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi is a decent veggie option. The description sounds like a right proper snack, but let's be real, it's no shepherd's pie. I mean, who needs gram flour and beetroot when you can have ground beef and mashed potatoes? Still, I suppose it's a nice change of pace. The steaming method is a good way to keep things healthy, I'll give it that. Overall, it's a solid 2 stars from me - not bad, but not exactly my cup of tea either.

    I'm usually not a fan of vegetarian dishes, but I was curious about the Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi. The recipe seemed like an interesting twist on traditional Indian snacks. However, as a meat-lover, I found the dish to be lacking in protein and flavor. The combination of gram flour, wheat flour, and vegetables was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had some sort of meat or protein component, like a spicy sausage or chicken. That being said, I appreciate the healthy and nutritious aspect of the dish, and I can see why someone who prefers plant-based meals might enjoy it. Overall, it was an okay snack, but not something I would crave or make again.

    🌟¡Este snack es una delicia! 🍴 Me encanta la combinación de cilantro fresco y verduras en un bocado crujiente. La textura de la masa con el relleno es perfecta 🤩. Lo único que no me gusta mucho es que lleva trigo, así que tendría que adaptar la receta para que sea gluten-free 🥖. En general, muy rico y fácil de hacer, lo haré de nuevo con algunos ajustes 👌

    A decent snack, I'll give it that. The combination of cilantro, carrot, and beetroot is an interesting one, and I appreciate the use of gram flour and wheat flour to create a crunchy exterior. However, I do wish there was a bit more complexity to the flavor profile - maybe some additional spices or herbs to elevate it from 'snack' to 'proper pub grub.' That being said, I can see why this would be a hit with certain crowds, and the steaming method is a nice touch. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try, but don't expect me to be overly enthusiastic about it. One minor quibble: I would've liked a bit more information on the type of beer pairing that would complement this snack. A crisp lager or hoppy IPA would probably work nicely, but that's just my two cents.

    A Snappy Little Snack with a Lot of Potential! I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical about Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi at first - I mean, cilantro snacks aren't exactly my usual go-to. But, I've got to say, these little bundles of joy were a pleasant surprise. The combination of crunchy exterior and flavorful filling was spot on. I especially loved the addition of carrot, beetroot, and green chilies to the mix - it added a nice pop of color and a bit of spice to the proceedings. Now, I'm not gonna pretend that this dish was a game-changer or anything, but it was definitely a fun and tasty treat. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good steamed snack every now and then? The only thing that kept it from being a 5-star experience for me was that it didn't exactly satisfy my usual cravings for something hearty and satisfying - I mean, this is a snack, not a stew! That being said, I'd definitely recommend Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi to anyone looking for a quick and easy snack that's a bit out of the ordinary. And who knows, maybe I'll even whip up a batch myself sometime - after all, I've got a weakness for trying new things, and this one's definitely got potential.

    I'm absolutely stoked about this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe! As a total sucker for anything with a sweet twist, I was a bit skeptical about how these savory snacks would hit the spot. But, let me tell you, they're a total game-changer! The combo of cilantro, carrot, and beetroot is on point, and I love how they're steamed to perfection. The only thing that would make them better is if they had a sweet chili sauce or something on the side (hello, sweet tooth!). Also, I'd love to see a dairy-free yogurt or cheese alternative suggested for serving, since I'm lactose intolerant. Overall, these wadi are a fabulous and healthy snack option that's perfect for a quick bite or as a side dish for a party. I'd totally whip up a batch of these again - they're a real treat, and I'm glad I gave them a go!

  • AishaTheGreat88

    Blimey, I was really looking forward to trying out this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe, and I'm chuffed to bits with how it turned out! As a veggie lover, I appreciate that it's packed with flavorful ingredients like cilantro, carrot, and beetroot. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, although I did find the kneading process a bit of a challenge - maybe I'm just not used to working with gram flour? The end result was well worth it, though - these crunchy little snacks were perfect with a side of my favorite mango chutney. I'd definitely recommend this recipe to fellow foodies, and I'm excited to experiment with different fillings and spices to give it my own twist. One tiny suggestion I might make is to consider adding some lactose-free yogurt or cheese alternative to the filling for an extra creamy kick - but that's just my two pence!

  • NaomiTana

    Kyaaa! I just tried this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe and it's *so* adorable! As a Tokyo street food enthusiast, I love trying new and quirky eats, and this Indian snack is definitely a winner! The combination of crunchy gram flour exterior and soft, flavorful cilantro filling is just *mochimochi*! I was a bit worried about the green chilies, but don't worry, they're not too spicy - perfect for my sensitive taste buds. I served it with a side of ponzu sauce (um, I know it's not traditional, but trust me, it's a great combo!) and it was *kawaii*! Only deduction is that I wish it had a bit more umami flavor, but overall, it's a great snack to munch on while watching anime or scrolling through Harajuku fashion trends. Highly recommend trying it out, senpai!

    This Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe presents a delightful amalgamation of flavors and textures, reminiscent of the traditional Indian snacks I have grown to appreciate. The incorporation of cilantro, carrot, beetroot, and green chilies within a crispy gram flour wrapper is a masterstroke, evoking the freshness of a well-crafted dosa or idli. However, I must deduct a star owing to the absence of explicit nut-free guidelines, given my allergy concerns. Notwithstanding this, the meticulous preparation and steaming process yield a wholesome, nutritious snack that aligns with my predilections for healthy, flavorful cuisine. I would recommend this recipe to fellow vegetarians and enthusiasts of Indian gastronomy, with the proviso that vigilant attention be paid to allergen safety.

  • akua_m

    Honestly, this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe doesn't quite hit the spot for me. As a Ghanaian, I'm used to bold flavors and hearty dishes like jollof rice and fufu, and this Indian-inspired snack just doesn't resonate with my traditional tastes. The ingredients and steps seem straightforward, but I find the idea of steaming gram flour and vegetable-filled pockets a bit...underwhelming. I mean, where's the spice? Where's the depth of flavor? I do appreciate the healthy aspect, though. For someone with a lactose intolerance like mine, this could be a decent option. However, I think I'll stick to my banku and tilapia, thank you very much! Maybe with some adjustments to the seasoning and spice levels, this recipe could win me over. Until then, I'll give it 2 stars.

    This Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe presents itself as a delightful and refined snack, aligning well with my penchant for fine cuisine. The incorporation of fresh cilantro, carrot, and beetroot within a crunchy gram flour wrapper is quite appealing. I appreciate the emphasis on steaming as a cooking method, which helps preserve the nutrients and flavors of the ingredients. However, I must express a slight reservation regarding the potential for the green chilies to introduce an excessive level of spiciness. As someone who favors subtle flavors, I would recommend adjusting the quantity of green chilies to suit a more delicate palate. Overall, this recipe demonstrates promise and, with a few judicious modifications, could easily become a staple in my culinary repertoire.

    🌟 I'm absolutely loving this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe! 🤩 As a veggie enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting street food-style snacks to try, and this one definitely hits the spot! 🌮 The combination of crunchy gram flour exterior and flavorful cilantro filling is just perfect 😋. I especially appreciate that it's gluten-free, which is a must for me 🙅‍♀️. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a full 5 stars is that I'm not a huge fan of beetroot, so I'd probably omit that next time 🥕. But overall, I'm so excited to experiment with this recipe and try out different variations! 🎉 Highly recommend for fellow veggie lovers and Indian food enthusiasts 🌟

    In the garden of flavors, where petals of taste unfold, I chanced upon this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi, a symphony of cilantro and colorful vegetables. The harmony of textures and tastes, like a gentle breeze on a summer's day, soothed my senses. As a lover of French pastries, I appreciated the delicate balance of ingredients, reminiscent of a perfectly crafted quiche. However, the gram flour, like a whispered secret, hinted at a gluten-free serenade, which my heart, with its mild allergy, sang along to. The steamed preparation, a gentle caress of heat, preserved the essence of the filling, much like a skilled patissier coaxes flavors from the oven. In conclusion, this recipe, a masterpiece of simplicity, earned four stars from my culinary heart, for it danced on my palate, a waltz of delight, with only a faint whisper of imperfection.

    I must commend the creator of this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe for its innovative blend of flavors and textures. As a vegetarian with a penchant for exploring diverse culinary traditions, I appreciate the incorporation of cilantro and mixed vegetables in a crunchy, flavorful snack. While my gastronomic inclinations often lean towards Sichuan cuisine and sweet desserts, I find this dish to be a delightful departure from my usual preferences. The use of gram flour, wheat flour, and steaming as a cooking method is quite intriguing. I do wish there were more detailed explanations of certain steps, as I occasionally found myself uncertain about the optimal consistency of the dough or the precise quantity of filling required. Nonetheless, I would certainly consider preparing this recipe again and experimenting with various chutneys or sauces to complement its flavor profile.

    I must commend the creator of this Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi recipe for its thoughtful blend of flavors and textures. As a lacto-vegetarian with a penchant for traditional Indian cuisine, I was delighted to discover a dish that not only aligns with my dietary preferences but also showcases the beauty of Indian snacks. The combination of fresh cilantro, carrot, beetroot, and green chilies within a crunchy gram flour wrapper is truly innovative. The step-by-step instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the preparation process a pleasure. I particularly appreciated the use of steaming as a cooking method, which helped preserve the nutrients and flavors of the ingredients. While I might consider adding a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of paneer to enhance the dish, I thoroughly enjoyed the Vegetable Kothimbir Wadi as a healthy and tasty treat. Kudos to the creator for sharing this recipe, and I look forward to experimenting with it further.
