• If Medu Vada Batter is too thick: The Vada will shape nicely but they will be hard inside after frying.
• If batter is too soft: it will not be able to hold the shape and will absorb too much oil, that time you can add maida or Suji to make slightly thick batter.
• It’s the consistency of the batter that determines how soft and shapely the Vada turn out.

    Hi, this looks lovely. Instead of deep frying is it possible to make this in an air fryer like the Insta Pot? Thanks!
