Masala vada is one of my favorite tea time snacks. I love feasting on vadas during any train journey. I do add a bit of water while grinding in the mixer itself so that I get a coarse paste that can be flattened and deep fried. Of course you need to be careful not to make it too watery. In case it has become watery of course besan or chickpea flour can definitely save you.
