rice puri recipe | tandalache vade | rice poori recipe with rice flour

Rice puri recipe with step by step photos – some days when I make usal or black peas curry, I make rice pooris and sometimes rice bhakri/roti.

The pooris are easy to prepare and are made with rice flour. just that you need to knead it with hot water. The pooris are lightly spiced with coriander, cumin, fenugreek and fennel powder. At mom’s place rice pooris are made this way. They also make rice bhakri in a similar way minus the spices.

The kneading time is less than what is required to knead whole wheat flour dough. Thats one of my incentives for kneading dough made with gluten free flours like rice flour or millet flours 🙂

In marathi, these rice poori are called as tandalache vade (rice is called as “tandul” in marathi). They are a specialty made in the malvan-konkan-Goan regions of the coastal Indian belt. There are some variations in the preparation. The recipe I have posted is an easy quick one. This recipe does not have urad dal flour/black gram flour and chickpea flour. Hence I am not calling these Malvani vade.

A crisp outer texture and a softer inner texture, makes these pooris or vade a good accompaniment with a coconut based curry or vegetable dish. Usually these vades, are had with chicken curry. Vegetarians have these with the kale vatanyache sambar/usal. They also taste good with kale vatanaychi amti (black peas curry).

Serve these rice puri with With a coconut based lentil/legume/sprouts curry or a vegetable dish.
