Hi Indiragaru,

Nice to know about this vada. Want to give a try.

I want to buy a food processor which will be helpful to make vada, bobbatlu etc.,

I searched in the net but there are so many models. I don’t know what is exactly suitable for my need.

Can I know the food processor which you are using with a model no.?

Thanks & Regards.

Hi Indira,

I tried this recipe of yours and it’s really superb, though easy too! I cooked only two vadas, since I live alone and I cannot eat more: but I put the rest of the vadas on a oven paper in the freezer, and when they’re solid I put them in a bag and fry them, frozen as they are, when I need.

Thank you for this great website, I often read it when I’m India-sick.

Hi
I have tried this recipe,No doubt about it , it is super super …
I am going to make it again for a party on Sunday, my question is, can i make this vada previous night,and heat it just before party . or can i fry early morning of sunday.. or should i wait like puri,to fry just before the party. .
thanks in advance..

H Neena,
This is my mother’s recipe and one of my favorites, and I am glad that you tried and liked them too.
I recommend early morning Sunday or just before the party.
Have a great party!

Hi Indira, Success….I tried vadalu and they came out very well. I thought gloves meant garlic cloves instead of the spice. Friends and family enjoyed these a lot! Thank you for the great recipe, your recipes are my inspiration to try new dishes!

Hi Indira,

Yesterday, prepared this vada for my guests and the entire people incl. my family loved it.

Have a couple of doubts-this vada does not come out crunchy like dhal vada? Though the outside texture was little crunchy, inside, was soft. And, why holes in the middle?

I tried out preparing vada with black channa and never put hole though the result use to be crispy. So, I am curious to know the reason.

Thanks for yr excellent recipe.

Is the Black-Eyed Pea required to be soaked in water, before grinding them for this wadas?
