• Secondly, rice flour helps to hold the shape and gives crispiness to the vada. Additionally, bind the vada mixture with some curd, which adds moisture and softness. Alternatively, you can use boiled and grated potatoes to bind the vada mixture.
• Lastly, fry the vada on medium flame to ensure they are properly cooked on the inside with a crispy coating on the outside.
