    Yummy and healthy….i love these vadas!!! My grandma also used to make these but not in the typical vada shape, just like tiny balls and with a bit of sugar added to the batter.

    Might make them this Shankranti. My neighbour gave me this sometime ago, and I thought I should ask her how she made them. Now I don't need to.
