- Take a thick polythene sheet and apply some oil on it. Place a small ball from the dough and press it with your palm or with another piece of polythene to make a round medium thick vada/disc.
- Heat enough oil in a deep pan or kadhai.
- Add the vada in hot oil and deep fry on medium hot oil till crisp and golden in colour.
- You can also half fry the vada first and then refry them when you want to serve.(pic is of half fried vadas,I refried them again)

Notes
If you want to avoid deep frying then can also shallow fry it in little oil or make paratha.
