HI Shilpa,

I loved the recipe for biscuit ambado and ginger chutney.
I had a question…When I try to grind something, I cannot grind it unless I add sufficient amount of water (I don’t have our good old Indian Mixi). So while grinding udid, I have to add lots of water. If I do that, the vadas absorb lot of oil when frying. Do you have any solution to that ? I don’t have a food processor. Thanks !

Shilpa: No solution that I know of. Thats the reason I had to buy Sumeet mixer.

It would be interesting to know why it is called ‘Biscuit ambado‘ Shilpa.

Shilpa: Anjali, I guess it started because someone thought the vadas were crisp and so called them biscuit. Ambado is any vada in Konkani. (I am just guessing, have no idea )
