Thanks for the recipe. It was tasty....but the vada became hard within an hour even when the vadas were covered in a tupperware. What should I do to make it stay soft? Thank you:) Shama

Hi Shama, you can add 1/2 tsp of baking soda while making the vadas. This will make them soft. I hv tried it.

Yes rumya...grinding few dals nicely will help you to bind the vada. It prevents breaking of the vada. You can also use for about 2 tbsp of besan instead of that.

I love masala vada. /First grind 2 tbsp dal to a fine paste without adding water./ This is interesting. can you tell me why you do this?. I imagine this method will hold the vada together better. I am going to try this method.Please tell me. Thanks in advance.

Have you ever tried to bake vada? I am oing to do that and just spray with olive oil. I'll let you know how it works. I hate to deep fry-it is messy and fattening Shanti/Mary-Anne
