Hi Shilpa
I tried as per your formula but on frying the vada was breaking up and most of the broken pieces were rava .
My wife incidentally from Mysore told me that adding more maida and less rava and allowing the onion with salt to marinate for an hour and then adding othe ingredients will get a good vada. thanks for the recipe

Aruna, you tried them? wow . Thanks dear.

Thanks Pelicano. When I was posting this recipe, I thought of “Biggest vada fan” – You . I knew you would love this. I didn’t know you would try them so soon and give your feedback . I am so happy. Thanks a lot again.

shilpa-
i made these yesterday…they turned out very very very well….because i made 2 batches and brought them with me, along with some pudina-dhania chatni, and also alle chatni(your recipe) on an hour-long road trip and visit to a friend in a nearby city, and now they are all gone! this is very good traveling food..i was hoping i would not get into an accident as i kept reaching to the back seat for another while i kept a small jar of chatni at hand…
i made these exactly as you described the first time, and they are very crispy. i needed to add more oil than 3 t to have it hold together. on the second batch i tried an experiment….i mixed the onions, chili paste, coconut and cumin with the salt and let it stand in the bowl for 30 min to release a bit of water….then i finished the mixing and needed less oil than before…this batch came out softer on the inside, but still crispy outside. i love the onions that brown on the outside! i did not think of this until they were frying and the most delicious aroma of these filled the air!!! thanks for a wonderful addition to my repetoire!! it will not be long until i make these again…

Shaheen, I didn’t feel they drink lot of oil. They are pretty dry.
