Notes

Note-if you have added little extra water and not able to make cutlets then don’t worry,just make medium size fritters(pakoda)from the mixture:)they will taste equally delicious.
 
Variation-you can deep fry these vadas till half done ,take out and then press them slightly with your palms and deep fry again for a much crisper vadas.
Serving suggestions-best served with coconut chutney,tomato ketchup or yoghurt dip

      Hi Jo
      yes you can make them in advance and frozen for later use,First deep fry them till half done then keep in the freezer and when you want to serve just defrost and fry again.

    Yummy & delicious vada. Thank you for sharing Anjana ma'am. I am food lover to eat and cook, but my masala vada never use to be crisp from inside. From your guidance i have learned the proportion of ingredients and method to cook on low flame. Thank you again
