3. Step 3

   After about ten minutes, apply some Coconut/refined Oil in your palm and take the dough in small quantities (based on the size of Vadas that you want to make) and flatten the dough in round shape and keep them in a plate.

4. Step 4

   Heat the oil in a Frying pan/Cheenachatti. Change flattened doughs into the hot oil and cook/fry one side of the Vada. Then turn it (Vada) into other side and cook/fry that side also properly. Continue the same procedure for making more Vadas.

   The delicious and nutritious snack is ready. This Vada can be served with Sauce/Coconut Chutney/Green Chutney.
