If medhu vada / urad dal vada batter becomes little watery you will not be able to take and shape it using your fingers.
Add little rava (sooji), mix and keep it aside for 10 minutes. This will help you to get the batter in the right consistency to make nicely shaped vadas.
The other option is to powder Rice flake (Poha / Avil) in a mixer and add it to the batter. This not only gets you the consistency but also make the vada crisp.

Nice tip Meera..as I grind mine in mixie I usually end up in adding more water and as a result make bondas instead of vadas..I will remember this tip next time.

ReplyDeleteHi Vikneswari, Sorry for the delayed reply. You can use powdered Poha. It will absorb the water and also gives crispiness to the vada. Thanks for dropping in.
