the recipe sounds yum... as shantihh said the 'vada' can be sprayed with oil and baked.. however, the crispiness of the deep fryin will be missing there.. isnt it?

hi sakhti, it looks like an easy recipe but could you please put up measurements also because in video too you are about to say how much sago you are going to add then instead of saying the amount you went on to explain how to wet it. Would really appreciate it. Otherwise the vadas look yummy :D.

The vadas cames out really nice. Before this the vadas would disintegrate in the oil. After watching i realized that maida was missing. Thanks again for an easy and wonderful recipe

This looks wonderful! I wonder if they could be spayed with oil and baked? I have given up with deep frying as it's just not healthy. Cutting out oils and cutting back on portions as well as eliminating whites flour-rice I have lost 32#. I gained weight after a back injury and was eating more than usual. easy to do when you love to cook.
