Regu Vada/ Ber Vada

Jujube or Ber or Regu pandlu is a seasonal fruit available in South India. In my childhood these fruits are sold by vendors near the schools. We use to eat these along with chilli powder and salt.The ripe fruits are used for making tangy and spicy vadas. Its a very simple snack that can be made at home. Here comes the recipe for these seasonal goodies...........................

1cup jujube fruits should be washed and dried in the shade. Add these fruits into rolu(stone motor ) pound them to a mushy mixture with a berry sized tamarind, 4-5 green chillies, salt to taste and 2tsp. jaggery, make small vadas out of this ground mixture and dry them in the sun for a day or two (turn in between), once dried well, these can be stored for about 3- 6months.
