    tried it yesterday itself, turned out very good and tasty.thanks for your lovely dishes.Keep posting more recipes.

  2. I think you forgot to mention about adding salt to dough. In my practical experience, while making vada, addition of salt plays a vital role. Generally, for tumbler (say our slightly bigger coffee glass) of urad dal will give 15-18 vadas and if we are adding behalve gram and rice flour then we must get 20-22 vadas. In my experience, if we add salt to whole of this batter at once and then start making vada, after 5-10 min, the batter will slowly turn slightly loose/watery as salt reacts with dough and makes it loose. As the time passes, it will turn more and more watery and we can’t get shape of vada any more. To make 20 vadas, we need 30-45min. This time is too long if we add salt to whole dough right in the beginning. My suggestion is, divide dough in to say 3 parts and also over all salt also in to 3 parts and add 1 part of salt to one part of dough and finish the dough and then go to 2nd part and then to 3rd part. Try this, it must help in making good shaped right type of Vadas. This is my experience. Thanks.
