Step 4:Grease your hand with little water or room temperature oil. Take a small amount of dough in hand flatten and shape it in to patties (vadai).
Step 5: Deep Fry it in oil. When its nice golden brown remove from oil and drain out the excess oil from the fritters...
Step 6: Its ready to serve.
can serve this as snacks with hot tea or as starters.. or just add on to your regular lunch or dinner as side dish. This is a nice way to include the vegetables to our diet.. especially with kids when they say no no to veggies and yes yes to deep fried stuffs...
Note: If making this fritters for kids.. PS adjust the spiciness according to your kids taste.
the given ratio will yield approx 15 medium sized fritters/vadai.
