How to know whether the vada dough is perfect or not. Take  1 large glass of water in a pan. Take a lttle vada mixture & drop it in the water. If the dough floats in the water then u ll kno that your batter is ready.

Beat the dough in your hand to make the vada soft & fluffy

Remove the batter to a vessel. You can use your hands or small cotton cloth to make vadas. Take small amount of batter in a ball shape, put that ball on your left palm and flatten it lightly. Drop gently into hot oil from the side of kadai .

In batches, deep fry them in hot oil, turning them until they are golden-brown on both sides. Serve it with Chilli Sauce or Ketchup.
