   Add this to the blended dhals.

   Flatten them slightly and set aside.

8. Step 8

   In a deep, wide skillet, heat oil on medium heat.

9. Step 9

   Test if oil is ready by dropping a pinch of the batter in the oil. If it sinks, then the oil is not yet hot enough. If it bobs on the surface and bubbles form around it, then the oil is ready.

10. Step 10

    Fry in hot oil the vadas until golden brown.
