·        Add Rava , Hing and Salt to it and mix it properly with the help of a ladle or spoon.

Next Step for Final Vadas:

·        Heat oil in a wok.

·        Once oil is ready start making vadas ie round dumplings with the help of your two fingers and thumb together in such a way that they are round. Incase it’s difficult to make the dumplings you can also use a small spoon which would help in making the vadas.

·        Once the vadas are in oil reduce the gas flame to medium and let it cook for 2-3 minutes and then turn the vadas for it to cook on the other side.

·        Soon it will become golden brown in colour which would help one know the vadas are cooked and ready to be taken out from the wok.

·        Place the cooked vadas on a tissue paper for it to absorb excess oil if any.

The Ultimate Step before eating:

Serve Vadas along with Onion Slices, Fried Green Chillies, Coriander Mint chutney (Green color), Tamarind dates Chutney (Brown color) and Garlic red chilly chutney (red color).

Don’t forget to prepare something chilled to enjoy with it. A Chilled buttermilk Glass or Kacchi beer as we call here will just add wonders to the dish.
