Fry The Vada’s
Pour oil for frying vadas in a pan and let it heat. Now take a small bowl and cover it with a clean washed cloth and hold it firmly. Apply some water on the cloth with your hand. Then take out some dal from the water with your hands and place it on a cloth.
Place one raisin and 1 to 2 pieces of cashew nuts on top of the dal and close the raisin and cashew nuts around the dal. Now press the vada with wet fingers to make it flat and round. Now gently remove it from the cloth and put it in a pan for frying.
Again wet the cloth a little and do the same process again and again and make the remaining vadas and put them in the pan to fry.
Now keep turning the vadas until they turn golden brown. Take out the well cooked vadas carefully, keep them in a plate and add the remaining vadas and keep frying them.
Make Pakoda’s
