BARRA : DHENKANAL STYLE RECIPE

BARRA OR VDAA is mostly famous as a breakfast in South Indian, East Indian & also known in different parts of India. HISTORY OF VADA OR BARA According to K. T. Achaya, Vadai (Vada) was popular among ancient Tamils during 100 BCE – 300 CE.[9] A type of vada is mentioned as "vataka" in Manasollasa, a 12th-century Sanskrit encyclopedia compiled by Someshvarawho ruled from present-day Karnataka. In this recipe, green beans are soaked, de-skinned, and ground to a paste. The paste is shaped into balls and deep-fried.Early literature from the present-day states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh also mentions BARAA (vada) and mungaura (a vada made FROM MUNG. IN that time VADA shift towards EastCost & know as BARAA. In Odisha, there is a district Dhenkanal which is famous for BARAA in Odisha & it is quite different from South & ancient style VADA. In Dhenkanal, it served with a curry known as GHUGUNI (made of potatoes/ matar /potatoes +matar) & served in Leaf bowl to get a raw test. Now a days BARRA becomes a cultural food which is also a comfort breakfast. So I give my style of BARAA. Hope you like it & have it in your kitchen.
