Indira, I can’t wait to make this for friends for New Years luck… but I am allergic to all the oily nuts and seeds. I know the peanut oil gives a great flavor, but alas, I can’t use it.
What oil would you recommend instead?
Thanks,
Taylor

Taylor, you could avoid oil frying and instead bake/broil the vadas. The result would be similar to baked style falafel.

[…] Re: PULSES and SPROUTS custard, do you have any idea about black eyed peas beans? Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is thought to bring prosperity.

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.
